A comparison of modeled and observed Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is presented. 3D Eulerian multiphase chemistry-transport model TCAM is employed for simulating AOD at mesoscale. MODIS satellite sensor and AERONET photometer AOD are used for…
Continuous aerosol monitoring in East Asia is essential due to the massive aerosol emissions from natural and anthropogenic sources. Geostationary satellites enable continuous aerosol monitoring; however, the observation is limited to the…
We present, for the first time, spectral behaviour of aerosol optical depths (AODs) over Manora Peak, Nainital located at an altitude of $\sim$ 2 km in the Shivalik ranges of central Himalayas. The observations were carried out using a…
Aerosols exhibit periodic or cyclic variations depending on natural and anthropogenic sources over a region, which can get modulated by synoptic meteorological parameters such as winds, rainfall and relative humidity, and long-range…
Aerosols play a critical role in atmospheric chemistry, and affect clouds, climate, and human health. However, the spatial coverage of satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) products is limited by cloud cover, orbit patterns, polar…
Atmospheric aerosols can cause serious damage to human health and life expectancy. Using the radiances observed by NASA's Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), the current MISR operational algorithm retrieves Aerosol Optical Depth…
In this study, we evaluated the performance of the MODIS C6.1 AOD products and compared them with the C6 products over regions in China with multifarious underlying surfaces during 2001 to 2016. The AOD retrievals were validated against 20…
Aerosol optical characteristics AOD and \AA ngstr\"om exponent is often used to asses environmental aerosol loading. AOD or Aerosol Optical Depth is an indirect measure of atmospheric aerosol loading by means of total extinction of incoming…
Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) retrieval is essential for Earth observation, supporting applications from air quality monitoring to climate studies. Conventional physics-based AOD retrieval methods formulate the problem as a pixel-wise…
Measurements made by satellite remote sensing, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and globally distributed Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) are compared. Comparison of the two datasets measurements for aerosol optical…
We present a new method to measure the vertical aerosol optical depth (VAOD) during clear nights using a wide-field imager - a CCD camera with a photographic lens on an equatorial mount. A series of 30-second exposures taken at different…
The Pierre Auger Observatory is making significant contributions towards understanding the nature and origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. One of its main challenges is the monitoring of the atmosphere, both in terms of its state…
Black carbon and mineral dust are key absorbing aerosols that influence atmospheric radiation and increasingly threaten global cryospheric stability. This study examines the long-range transport and seasonal variability of these aerosols…
Aerosol-cloud interactions constitute the largest source of uncertainty in assessments of the anthropogenic climate change. This uncertainty arises in part from the difficulty in measuring the vertical distributions of aerosols, and only…
Satellite aerosol products have been widely used to retrieve ground PM2.5 concentration because of its wide coverage and continuously spatial distribution. While more and more studies focus on the retrieval algorithm, we find that the…
To measure the column densities of interstellar and intergalactic gas clouds using absorption line spectroscopy, the apparent optical depth technique (AOD) of Savage & Sembach (1991) can be used instead of a curve-of-growth analysis or…
Accurate estimation of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is crucial for understanding climate change and its impacts on public health, as aerosols are a measure of air quality conditions. AOD is usually retrieved from satellite imagery at coarse…
In this paper, we propose a novel data-driven regression model for aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval. First, we adopt a low rank representation (LRR) model to learn a powerful representation of the spectral response. Then, graph…
The atmospheric aerosol monitoring system of the Pierre Auger Observatory has been operating smoothly since 2004. Two laser facilities (Central Laser Facility, CLF and eXtreme Laser Facility, XLF) fire sets of 50 shots four times per hour…
Reanalysis datasets combining numerical physics models and limited observations to generate a synthesised estimate of variables in an Earth system, are prone to biases against ground truth. Biases identified with the NASA Modern-Era…
