Data and Scripts to reproduce aerosol levels over Sao Paulo

AOD products derived from MODIS and AERONET instruments in order to analyze the aerosol levels over the Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo during a period of six years (2014-2019) were considered for validation again AOD data obtained from WRF-Chem model for June 2017. A spatiotemporal window methodology was used, assuming that the aerosol plume is homogeneous within a certain time-scale limit.

为分析2014至2019年六年间圣保罗都会区的气溶胶水平，本研究采用由MODIS（中分辨率成像光谱仪，Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer）与AERONET（气溶胶机器人网络，Aerosol Robotic Network）仪器反演得到的气溶胶光学厚度（Aerosol Optical Depth, AOD）产品，并以2017年6月WRF-Chem模式获取的AOD数据对其开展验证。本研究采用时空窗口方法，假设气溶胶羽流在特定时间尺度范围内具有均匀性。
