High altitude mountaintop observatories provide the opportunity to study aerosol properties
in the free troposphere without the added expense and difficulty of making airborne …

This paper introduces the recent European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET)
quality-assurance efforts at instrument level. Within two dedicated campaigns and five single …

PM 2.5 retrieval from space is still challenging due to the elusive relationship between PM
2.5 and aerosol optical depth (AOD), which is further complicated by meteorological factors …

Health effects of air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), have been widely
investigated. However, most of the studies rely on few monitors located in urban areas for …

Monitoring fine particulate matter with diameters of less than 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) is a critical
endeavor in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region, which is one of the most polluted areas …

Aerosol particles are a complex component of the atmospheric system that influences
climate directly by interacting with solar radiation, and indirectly by contributing to cloud …

Mountainous regions are often considered pristine environments; however they can be
affected by pollutants emitted in more populated and industrialised areas, transported by …

The calculation of aerosol optical properties from aerosol mass is a process subject to
uncertainty related to necessary assumptions on the treatment of the chemical species …

The subject of this study is to investigate the capability of spaceborne remote sensing data to
predict ground concentrations of PM10 over the European Alpine region using satellite …

Recently, a new Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm
was developed for the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which …
