Two decades of aerosol observations by AATSR, MISR, MODIS and MERRA-2 over India and Indian Ocean. Atmospheric aerosols play key roles in radiation budget, ecosystem dynamics, air quality and cloud microphysics of a region and thus, they greatly influence the global climate, ecosystem and public health. We present the temporal variability of atmospheric aerosols over …

Atmospheric aerosols play key roles in radiation budget, ecosystem dynamics, air quality and cloud microphysics of a region and thus, they greatly influence the global climate, ecosystem and public health. We present the temporal variability of atmospheric aerosols over India and north Indian Ocean (NIO) for the past two decades (2000–2019).

Feb 05, 2018 · Satellite data have been used to provide a 3-D aerosol climatology over mainland China for two decades (1995–2015), describing the spatial variation of the column-integrated extinction, or AOD, by combining ATSR-2, AATSR (both using the most recent data set produced by the ADV v2.31 algorithm) and MODIS/Terra C6 merged DTDB AOD data.

Nov 26, 2018 · Research article 26 Nov 2018. Research article | 26 Nov 2018 . Spatial and seasonal variations of aerosols over China from two decades of multi-satellite observations – Part 2: AOD time series for 1995–2017 combined from ATSR ADV and MODIS C6.1 and AOD tendency estimations

Over the last two decades, significant improvements have been performed for surface networks and the satellite retrievals of aerosols, contributing to major improvements in the monitoring and understanding of the related procedures. The major surface aerosol networks include AERONET, which operates hundreds of stations around the globe [11 ...

Jun 15, 2021 · Abstract. The present study summarizes two decades (2000–2019) of climatology and trends in aerosol loading and optical properties using a high spatial resolution data obtained from NASA's MODIS MAIAC and MISR aerosol products supplemented by moderate resolution aerosol data from OMI sensor over South Asia (SA).

Aerosol is defined as a suspension system of solid or liquid particles in a gas. An aerosol includes both the particles and the suspending gas, which is usually air. Meteorologists usually refer them as particle matter - PM2.5 or PM10, depending on their size. Frederick G. Donnan presumably first used the term aerosol during World War I to describe an aero-solution, clouds of microscopic ...
