Summertime Aerosol Radiative Effects and Their Dependence on Temperature over the Southeastern USA

Summertime Aerosol Radiative Effects and Their Dependence on Temperature over the Southeastern USA

Satellite data suggest that summertime aerosol optical depth (AOD) over the southeastern USA depends on the air/land surface temperature, but the magnitude of the radiative effects caused by this dependence remains unclear. To quantify these radiative effects, we utilized several remote sensing data...
