Assessments of Satellite-Based Aerosol Optical Depth for Monitoring Air Quality of the Large Port of Busan, Korea

Busan’s major port is among the largest trading ports worldwide; however, it is also one of the ten most polluted ports globally. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of satellite-derived aerosol data for monitoring particulate matter levels in Busan. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the Visi...
