Aerosol properties over the ocean from PARASOL multiangle photopolarimetric measurements (2011, methodology): “We start the iteration with a large l, on the order of 15, and then reduce or increase l in the following iteration steps according to an empirically found scheme similar to Levenberg‐Marquardt strategies [e.g., Rodgers, 2000 ].”
