In this study, 400 sites from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) from 2002-2015 are selected to develop an aerosol optical depth (AOD) evaluation dataset. The evaluation dataset is used to evaluate two reanalysis AOD datasets from Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (M...
