Climatological aspects of aerosol optical properties in Northern Greece
Measurements of aerosol optical properties (aerosol optical depth, scattering and backscattering coefficients) have been conducted at two groundbased sites in Northern Greece, Ouranoupolis (4023 N, 2357 E, 170 m a.s.l.) and Thessaloniki (4038 N, 2257 E, 80 m a.s.l.), between 1999 and 2002. The frequency distributions of the observed parameters have revealed the presence of individual modes of h...

متن کاملOptical properties of different aerosol types: seven years of combined Raman-elastic backscatter lidar measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece
We present our combined Raman/elastic backscatter lidar observations which were carried out at the EARLINET station of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the period 2001–2007. The largest optical depths are observed for Saharan dust and smoke aerosol particles. For local and continental polluted aerosols the measurements indicate high aerosol loads. However, measurements associated with the local pat...
متن کاملStudy of seasonal distribution of dust in the Middle East region using CALIOP and MODIS data
Aerosol optical depth in 550 nm and angstrom exponent measurements with MODIS have been studied with 1-degree resolution for the period 2006-2017 in the middle east. Moreover, tropospheric aerosol optical depth and depolarization ratios measured at 532 nm with CALIOP have been studied for same area and same period of time too. These parameters have been classified seasonally. Optical depth resu...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal variability of aerosol characteristics in Iran using remotely sensed datasets
The present study is the first attempt to examine temporal and spatial characteristics of aerosol properties and classify their modes over Iran. The data used in this study include the records of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Angstrom Exponent (AE) from MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Aerosol Index (AI) from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), obtained from 2005 t...
