Understanding of Aerosol optical depth (AOD) parameter is important for air quality assessment. This study aims to evaluate and validate AOD measurements from combine datasets to improve air quality for a period 2005–2020 using Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) at Ilorin site (8.320° N, 4.340° E) in...
