An Improved Global Land Anthropogenic Aerosol Product Based on Satellite Retrievals From 2008 to 2016

Significant levels of aerosols originate from anthropogenic activities, markedly influencing regional air quality and, consequently, human health. Generally, fine-mode aerosol optical depth (fAOD) data are used to evaluate the concentration of anthropogenic aerosols. Although the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides fine-mode fraction (FMF) data that can be used to produc...
