Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is an important indicator for air pollution monitoring. We obtain AOD from the GF-6 satellite, which was launched on June 2, 2018 by China. Beijing is selected as the study area. Based on the deep blue algorithm, the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer surface reflectance product is used to correct and establish the surface reflectance library, and the AOD is retrieved from the GF-6 wide field of view (WFV) blue band. So, the application of the deep blue algorithm in a GF-6 WFV camera is realized. The aerosol is divided into three models: a custom model, a continental model, and an urban model in second simulation of the satellite signal in the solar spectrum model. To improve the accuracy of retrieval results, we recalculated the aerosol component concentration ratio based on GF-6 WFV data and ground observation as the custom model. The retrieval results of the three aerosol models show that the central and southern urban areas are higher than the mountainous areas in the northwest, indicating that human emission is the main source of air pollution in Beijing. The retrieval results of the custom model, continental model, and urban model are compared with the ground observation. The error of urban model retrieval is large, and the determination coefficient R2 is only 0.3671. The results of the custom model and continental model are similar. The R2 of the custom is 0.8942, which is higher than that of the continental (0.8872). We analyze the relationship between the retrieved AOD of the three aerosol models and top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectance and find that the custom AOD has the best sensitivity to TOA reflectance, whereas the urban AOD has the worst sensitivity. So, the custom aerosol model is closer to the real aerosol situation in Beijing.
