Remote Sensing of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) over Pretoria, South Africa
This paper presents the analysis of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) level data monitored through the Cimel CE 318A Sun-photometer over the year seasons of 2014. The data was collected at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Department of Defence and Security (D&S) in Pretoria (...
