Mining plays a prominent role in the economy worldwide since human efforts have been
more concentrated in extraction than recycling of natural resources. Ores composed of …

The long-term global distribution study of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) has great
significance for air pollution control, forest fire prevention and climate studies. The global …

Anthropogenic aerosols exert significant effects on the terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle by
causing climate change and altering surface hydrological conditions through radiation and …

Aerosol–cloud interactions contribute substantially to uncertainties in anthropogenic forcing,
in which the sensitivity of cloud droplet number concentration (N d) to aerosol plays a central …

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 …

Aerosols released into the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources and natural events
affect human health, reduce visibility, and alter Earth's radiation budget. Aerosol Optical …

Aerosol optical properties were studied over Chisinau in Moldova, one of the longest
running AERONET sites in Eastern Europe. During two decades (September 1999 …

Numerous studies have been carried out to examine the trends in the rapidly changing
aerosol loading through the total Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) but very few investigations …

This study investigates columnar optical, microphysical and radiative properties of aerosols
retrieved from the ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) station located in …

The multi-angle polarimetric satellite observations are helpful for improving the retrievals of
aerosol parameters. However, practical applications of polarization technology are still …
