Wind Speed Influences on Marine Aerosol Optical Depth [PDF]
Advances in Meteorology, 2010 The Mulcahy (Mulcahy et al., 2008) power‐law parameterization, derived at the coastal Atlantic station Mace Head, between clean marine aerosol optical depth (AOD) and wind speed is compared to open ocean MODIS‐derived AOD versus wind speed. The reported AOD versus wind speed (U) was a function of ~U2.

Merging regional and global aerosol optical depth records from major available satellite products
, 2020 . Satellite instruments provide a vantage point for studying aerosol loading consistently over different regions of the world. However, the typical lifetime of a single satellite platform is on the order of 5–15 years; thus, for climate studies, the use ...
