Aerosol Monitoring over Athens Using Satellite and Ground-Based Measurements

Figure 4

Mean daily values of AOD at 560 nm derived from MERIS at four sites with a 260×290 m² spatial resolution and spatially averaged over the Athens Basin. The daily Terra/Aqua MODIS AOD₅₅₀ with 10 ×10 km² spatial resolution are also given. The PM₁₀ concentrations are four-station averaged value at the time interval corresponding to MERIS pass time. AI values for each day are given while the vertical bars express one standard deviation from the spatially averaged MERIS AOD value.
