    Investigating aerosol properties in Peninsular Malaysia via the synergy of satellite remote sensing and ground-based measurements
    (Elsevier, 2014) Kanniah Devi Kanniah; Hui Qi Lim; G. Kaskaoutis; Arthur P. Cracknell
    Spatio-temporal variation and trends in atmospheric aerosols as well as their impact on solar radiation and clouds are crucial for regional and global climate change assessment. These topics are not so well-documented over Malaysia, the fact that it receives considerable amounts of pollutants from both local and trans-boundary sources. The present study aims to analyse the spatio-temporal evolution and decadal trend of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from Terra and Aqua MODIS sensors, to identify different types and origin of aerosols and explore the link between aerosols and solar radiation.
