This research focuses on atmospheric aerosols in China's maritime regions, utilizing aerosol data from the next-generation geostationary meteorological satellite Himawari-8 (H8) and the spaceborne lidar CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations). It examines the distribution and variation of typical aerosols across different time and space scales and explores the optical properties of aerosols in the eastern maritime regions. The findings indicate: 1. Aerosol optical properties in coastal regions are predominantly influenced by anthropogenic aerosols from land, signifying a dominance of fine-mode aerosols in these areas, with the central and eastern parts primarily characterized by larger sea salt aerosol particles. 2. Outside of summer, irregular, larger aerosol particles are mainly found at lower altitudes. 3. Further examination of meteorological factors influencing aerosol optical properties reveals a notable correlation between sea surface temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and aerosol optical thickness.
