A hybrid method for reconstructing the historical evolution of aerosol optical depth from sunshine duration measurements

<p>A novel method has been developed to estimate aerosol optical depth (AOD) from sunshine duration (SD) measurements under cloud-free conditions. It is a physically based method serving for the reconstruction of the historical evolution of AOD during the last century. In addition to sunshine...
