Physical and optical aerosol properties at the Dutch North Sea coast based on AERONET observations
International audience Sun photometer measurements at the AERONET station at the North Sea coast in The Hague (The Netherlands) provide a climatology of optical and physical aerosol properties for the area. Results are presented from the period January 2002 to July 2003. For the analysis and interpr...
