چکیده
The spatiotemporal evolution and trends in aerosol optical depth (AOD) over environmentally distinct regions Pakistan are investigated for the period 1980–2018. AOD data this was obtained from Modern-era retrospective analysis research applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis atmospheric products, together with Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrievals. climatology of AODMERRA-2 is analyzed three different contexts: entire study domain (Pakistan), six within domain, 12 cities chosen domain. time-series MODIS MERRA-2 shows similar patterns individual cities. its seasonality vary strongly across Pakistan, lowest (0.05 ± 0.04) highest (0.40 0.06) autumn summer seasons desert coastal regions, respectively. During period, annual trend increased between 0.002 0.012 year−1. increase attributed to an population emissions natural and/or anthropogenic sources. A general central lower Indus Basin ascribed large contribution dust particles desert. winter spring, a significant decrease observed northern Pakistan. (2002–2018) were compared, results show visible differences datasets due theuseof versions collection methods. Overall, present provides insight into regional pronounced seasonal behavior

Aerosol Optical Depth Spatial and Temporal Variability Using Satellite Data Over Indian Major Cities
Introduction: The study’s main aim is to investigate the long-term variation of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD). It also aims to show the relationship between meteorological parameters. This study evaluates long-term (2010 to 2021) special and temporal changes over major Indian regions using satellite-based data from NASA’s Terra Satellite. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out during ...
متن کاملAerosol Optical Depth over Europe - Retrieval from Atsr-2 Data for the Year
Aerosol properties are retrieved from ATSR-2 data (ERS2 satellite) by utilizing the dual view for application over land and the single view for application over water. These two algorithms have been merged into a fast and efficient algorithm that allows for near real-time processing and which is suitable for operational use. It includes corrections for surface and atmospheric effects including ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the MODIS aerosol optical depth retrieval over different ecosystems in China during EAST-AIRE
The accuracy of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer’s (MODIS) aerosol products is still uncertain in China, due to a lack of validation by long-term and large-scale ground-based observations. In this paper, the MODIS aerosol optical depth (AOD) product is evaluated using Chinese Sun Hazemeter Network (CSHNET) data as ground truths over different ecological regions in China during ...
متن کاملMODIS Retrieval of Aerosol Optical Depth over Turbid Coastal Water
We present a new approach to retrieve Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over the turbid coastal water. This approach supplements the operational Dark Target (DT) aerosol retrieval algorithm that currently does not conduct AOD retrieval in shallow waters that have visible sediments or sea-floor (i.e., Class 2 waters). Over the global coas...
متن کاملValidation of MODIS aerosol optical depth retrieval over land
[1] Aerosol optical depths (ta) are derived operationally for the first time from the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) measurements over vegetated and partially vegetated land at 0.47 and 0.66 mm wavelengths. The extensive validation made during July – September 2000 encompasses 315 co-located ta in space and time derived by MODIS and AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) from ...
