The Effect of Varying Aerosol Concentrations on Visibility and Particle Size Distribution in Urban Atmosphere: Validating OPAC Results using MERRA Satellite Aerosol Data
Abstract:Well validated simulation software and models are meant to add value through a more precise representation of different atmospheric features and climate characteristics that are physically out of reach. In this work, comparison and validation was carried out using the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) averaged Angstrom Exponents (α) and averaged visibilities for ten urban countries against simulated Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC) urban components. The sim… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
