Analysis of the Winter AOD Trends over Iran from 2000 to 2020 and Associated Meteorological Effects

Analysis of the Winter AOD Trends over Iran from 2000 to 2020 and Associated Meteorological Effects

High aerosol levels pose severe air pollution and climate change challenges in Iran. Although regional aerosol optical depth (AOD) trends have been analyzed during the dusty season over Iran, the specific factors that are driving the spatio-temporal variations in winter AOD and the influence of mete...
