Optical, microphysical and radiative properties of aerosols over a tropical rural site in Kenya, East Africa: Source identification, modification and aerosol type discrimination
Boiyo, Richard; Kumar, K Raghavendra; Zhao, Tianliang (Pergamon, 2018)A better understanding of aerosol optical, microphysical and radiative properties is a crucial challenge for climate change studies. In the present study, column-integrated aerosol optical and radiative properties observed ... -
Spatial variations and trends in AOD climatology over East Africa during 2002–2016: a comparative study using three satellite data sets
Boiyo, Richard; Kumar, K. Raghavendra; Zhao, Tianliang (Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)Aerosol optical depth (AOD) has become one of the most crucial parameters for climate change assessment. This study presents long-term (2002–2016) spatio-temporal distributions and trends in AOD over East Africa (EA) ... -
Spatiotemporal characteristics of aerosols and their trends over mainland China with the recent Collection 6 MODIS and OMI satellite datasets
Hu, Kang; Kumar, Kanike Raghavendra; Kang, Na; Boiyo, Richard; Wu, Jinwen (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-03)With the rapid development of China’s economy and high rate of industrialization, environmental pollution has become a major challenge for the country. The present study is aimed at analyzing spatiotemporal heterogeneities ...
