An updated VIIRS dark target aerosol product for continuity with MODIS: assessing regional aerosol trends by Virginia Sawyer, Virginia Sawyer, Robert C. Levy, Shana Mattoo, Shana Mattoo, Yingxi R. Shi, Yingxi R. Shi, Mijin Kim, Mijin Kim, Lorraine A. Remer, Geoff Cureton

“…To assess regional trends, two time intervals are studied: a 22-year record that compares Terra and Aqua, and a more recent 12-year record (the VIIRS era) that compares three sensors. According to linear regressions of monthly average AOD for each global 1°×1° grid cell, AOD has decreased by between 0.003 and 0.01 per year over parts of China, the United States, Brazil, and much of Europe, while increasing on the same scale over India and parts of Canada, while more modestly but significantly increasing over the southern oceans. …”
