Résumé

Since we are often faced with limited, insufficient or contaminated observations in remote sensing. We will employ a theoretical technique for the retrieval of the particle size distribution. In this study, the columnar aerosol size distributions have been inferred by numerically inverting particulate optical depth measurements obtained in Blida and Tamanrasset from AERONET database at wavelengths region between 0.340 - 1.640 . Our results are in good agreement with those found by other authors and the correlation between the aerosol optical thickness measurements and the reproduced AOTs by the inverted columnar aerosol size distribution is very good with a correlation coefficient more than 0.97.
