Background. Over the past 30 years, various studies in Nigeria have monitored atmospheric
particulate matter loads and elemental composition of ambient air around diverse receptor …

A satellite-based algorithm is developed and used to determine the presence of dust
aerosols on a global scale. The algorithm uses as input aerosol optical properties from the …

The goal of this study is to investigate the variability of poor visibility events occurring hourly
in the UAE and their relationship to climate dynamics. Hourly visibility observation data …

The uncertainty in the quantification of aerosol properties such as concentration, size, and
composition, spatially and temporally makes regional studies important. Therefore, this study …

The present study investigates long-term variation in aerosol optical properties (AOP) and
their associated climatic implications over selected cities of Chitral, Gwadar, Karachi …

An understanding of the relationship between climatic or meteorological data and dust
deposition is of great utility for aeolian dust studies. Since dust sampling is a time …

In this study, atmospheric visibility (AV) data from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (24.91˚ N, 46.41˚ E,
760 m), for the period 1976-2011 were utilized to investigate the interannual, monthly, and …

The optical communication network is a laser-based technology technique that transmits
data through line-of-sight seamlessly. Free-Space Optics (FSO) based on optical technology …

The objective of this work is to analyze the temporal and spatial variability of the monthly
mean aerosol index (AI) obtained from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) and …

The spatial and temporal variability, trend of visibility, frequency of occurrence (FOO) of 'thick
dust haze'(TDH) and of 'light dust haze'(LDH) during the Harmattan season (November to …
