Integration and Comparative Analysis of Remote Sensing and In Situ Observations of Aerosol Optical Characteristics Beneath Clouds by Jing Chen, Jing Duan, Ling Yang, Yong Chen, Lijun Guo, Juan Cai

“…Lu reveals the following: (1) The AOD seasonal distribution frequencies under both clear-sky and cloudy-sky conditions are unimodal, with a values of 0.2∼0.6, and the inhomogeneity of the aerosol distribution in winter is evident; the seasonal difference in the AOD under clear-sky conditions is more significant, following the order of spring > summer > winter > autumn, and the AOD seasonal difference under cloudy-sky conditions is not obvious. (2) In the analysis of the AOD monthly variations, due to the influence of the meteorological conditions (high humidity, low wind speed) and pollutant transport, the AOD reached its peak in February (clear-sky: 0.63, cloudy-sky: 0.82). (3) Under clear-sky conditions, the negative correlation between the daily variations in AOD, and visibility is more significant during the daytime, and after 12:00, the AOD is positively correlated with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><msub><mi>M</mi><mrow><mn>2.5</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>; these results indicate that the AOD is affected mainly by pollutants and the boundary layer height. …”
