Abstract

Produk aerosol dari Spektrometer Pengimejan Resolusi Sederhana (MODIS) telah digunakan secara meluas untuk menangani alam sekitar dan isu-isu berkaitan perubahan dengan liputan global setiap hari. Kedalaman optic aerosol (AOD) yang diambil oleh algoritma yang berbeza berdasarkan permukaan piksel, menentukan antara tanah dan laut. Produk MODIS-Terra dan Global Aerosol Robotik Network (AERONET) boleh didapati daripada Multi-sensor Aerosol Product Sampling System (MAPSS) bagi kawasan-kawasan pantai sepanjang tahun 2000-2010. Dengan menggunakan data yang dikumpul daripada 83 stesen pantai dan 158 bukan pantai di seluruh dunia dari AERONET 2000-2010, penilaian ketepatan dibuat untuk kedalaman optic aerosol pantai (AOD) diambil dari MODIS di atas satelit Terra. Tujuan utama penilaian statistik AOD di kawasan pantai adalah untuk melahirkan MODIS AOD terubahsuai dengan ralat yang minimum berbanding dengan nilai rujukan yang diberikan oleh AERONET. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol products have been widely used to address environment and climate change issues with daily global coverage. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is retrieved by different algorithms based on the pixel surface, determining between land and ocean. MODIS-Terra and Global Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) products can be obtained from the Multi-sensor Aerosol Products Sampling System (MAPSS) for coastal regions during 2000-2010. Using data collected from 83 coastal and 158 non-coastal stations worldwide from AERONET from 2000-2010, accuracy assessments are made for coastal aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieved from MODIS aboard the Terra satellite. The main aim of this statistical assessment of AOD over coastal regions is to produce modified MODIS AOD with minimum error when compared with the reference value given by AERONET.
