Tropical, temperate, and boreal forests are critical components of the climate system, and
the ecosystem services they provide are essential for our society (Bonan et al., 1992, Bonan …

Satellite instruments provide a vantage point for studying aerosol loading consistently over
different regions of the world. However, the typical lifetime of a single satellite platform is on …

Producing a global and comprehensive description of atmospheric aerosols requires
integration of ground-based, airborne, satellite and model datasets. Due to its complexity …

The retrieval of aerosol properties from satellite observations provides their spatial
distribution over a wide area in cloud-free conditions. As such, they complement ground …

Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameters< 10 (PM 10) and
2.5 µ m (PM 2.5) has negative effects on human health. Although station-based PM …

Understanding long-term variations in aerosol loading is essential for evaluating the health
and climate effects of airborne particulates as well as the effectiveness of pollution control …

To reduce air pollution over China, a series of measures to decrease concentrations of
aerosols and trace gases has been implemented during the last two decades. The effects of …

To better understand current uncertainties in the important observational constraint to
climate models of AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth), we evaluate and intercompare fourteen …

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides near-real-time forecast
and reanalysis of aerosols using the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System with …

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) patterns and interannual and seasonal variations over China
are discussed based on the AOD retrieved from the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer …
