This overview paper highlights the successes of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on
board the Aura satellite spanning a period of nearly 14 years. Data from OMI has been used …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Anthropogenic aerosols exert a cooling influence that offsets part of the greenhouse gas
warming. Due to their short tropospheric lifetime of only several days, the aerosol forcing …

The paper focuses on analysis of long-term changes of aerosol optical depth (AOD) over
Iran. It describes contributions of dominant aerosol in the aerosol load over Iran covering the …

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 …

This study presents the results from PM 2.5 (particulate matter≤ 2.5 μm) source
apportionment of a full-year sampling campaign at a Carbonaceous Aerosol Emissions …

The aim of this study is to explore the aerosol optical depth (AOD)–an indicator of air quality,
based on satellite data over Central Asia. Due to limited studies and lack of knowledge …

This study aims to investigate the global, regional and seasonal temporal dust changes as
well as the effect of dust particles on total aerosol loading, using the MIDAS fine resolution …

This study conducts a comprehensive estimation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) trend and a
classification of types of aerosols over the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) region using the …

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) has become one of the most crucial parameters for climate
change assessment. This study presents long-term (2002–2016) spatio-temporal …
