Abstract

Anthropogenic and natural aerosols are important atmospheric constituents that significantly contribute to the Earth’s radiation budget but remain uncertainties due to the poor understanding of aerosol properties and its direct effects on scattering and absoprtion of solar radiation and the ability of aerosols to stay in atmosphere for a very short time. Different types of aerosols, representing biomass burning, urban or continental aerosols, maritime aerosols and dust particles will give different characterization and classification of aerosol properties. The data used in this study was obtained from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET).Two parameters were used for aerosol analysis which are Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at four wavelengths (440, 500, 675 and 870nm) and Angstrom exponent (α) derived from a multispectral log linear.
