def bird_hulstrom80_aod_bb(aod380, aod500):
    """
    Approximate broadband aerosol optical depth.

    Bird and Hulstrom developed a correlation for broadband aerosol optical
    depth (AOD) using two wavelengths, 380 nm and 500 nm.

    Parameters
    ----------
    aod380 : numeric
        AOD measured at 380 nm
    aod500 : numeric
        AOD measured at 500 nm

    Returns
    -------
    aod_bb : numeric
        broadband AOD
