In my own words I have found that algorithm is a way to solve a problem or a way to perform a task. A good example of algorithm is a recipe for food. It has a set of instructions on how to cook the food and what to use to have the final product. The recipe was what helped u solve the performed the task.
Found on the internet-
A mathematical relation between an observed quantity and a variable used in a step-by-step mathematical process to calculate a quantity. In the context of remote sensing, algorithms generally specify how to determine higher-level data products from lower-level source data. For example, algorithms prescribe how atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles are determined from a set of radiation observations originally sensed by satellite sounding instruments.
