Abstract
Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is the measure of aerosol distributed with a Column of air from earth’s surface to the top of atmosphere, in this study, temperature variation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) in Baghdad was analyzed Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) from Terra and its relationship with temperature for the period 2003 – 2015 were examined. The highest values for mean seasonal AOD were observed in spring and summer and the maximum AOD values ranged from 0.50 to 0.58 by contrast minimum AOD values ranging from 0.30 to 0.41 were found in winter and autumn. Results of study also showed that the temperature (max., min., mean air temperature and DTR) have a strong correlation with AOD (0.82, 0.83, 0.82 and 0.65) respectively.
