Partitioning of mineral dust, pollution, smoke, and mixtures using remote sensing techniques
can help improve accuracy of satellite retrievals and assessments of the aerosol radiative …

Knowledge of aerosol size and composition is important for determining radiative forcing
effects of aerosols, identifying aerosol sources and improving aerosol satellite retrieval …

Recent results from diverse air, ground, and laboratory studies using both radiometric and in
situ techniques show that the fractions of black carbon, organic matter, and mineral dust in …

As more information about global aerosol properties has become available from remotely
sensed retrievals and in situ measurements, it is prudent to evaluate this new information …

Smoke aerosols from biomass burning are an important component of the global aerosol
system. Analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) retrievals of aerosol …

The Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) has been providing high-quality retrievals of
aerosol optical properties from the surface at worldwide locations for more than a decade …

[2] Global aerosol properties are important not only for use in radiative transfer models but
also as inputs to the inversion algorithms of satellite-based measurements of aerosol optical …

We present an aerosol classification based on AERONET aerosol data from 1993 to 2012.
We used the AERONET Level 2.0 almucantar aerosol retrieval products to define several …

By using observations from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), aerosol types are
classified according to dominant size mode and radiation absorptivity as determined by fine …

Aerosols have a significant regional and global effect on climate, which is about equal in
magnitude but opposite in sign to that of greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, the aerosol …
