Patterns of aerosol over Malaysia from multiple satellite-borne sensors
Aerosols patterns over Malaysia are examined using two different satellite-borne sensors, namely the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), which have been providing continuous aerosol data since July 2002 and November 2004 respectively. The...
