An Evaluation of MODIS-Retrieved Aerosol Optical Depth over AERONET Sites in Alaska
Remote Sensing, 2018 The air quality monitoring network in Alaska is currently limited to ground-based observations in urban areas and national parks, leaving a large proportion of the state unmonitored.

Assessment of the aerosol optical depths measured by satellite-based passive remote sensors in the Alberta oil sands region [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Several satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) products are assessed in terms of their data quality in the Alberta oil sands region. The instruments consist of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer), POLDER (Polarization and Directionality ...

Modelling frost generates insights for managing risk of minimum temperature extremes
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2020 Frosts and extreme minimum temperature events cause significant damage to grapevines. In the Victorian vine growing regions of Australia, these events may cause complete wipe-out of a season's grape production, and millions of dollars of losses. Frost is
