Relationship between aerosol optical depth and particulate matter [PM2.5] using MODIS satellite image / Nurul Anisa Muhamad Adzhar

Cloud and aerosol uncertainty continue to provide a challenge to estimates and explanations of the Earth's dynamic energy budget. In this study, satellite images and PM 2.5 data from air quality monitoring stations in Peninsular Malaysia were conducted to evaluate the relationship between Aeros...
