Sunshine duration as a proxy of the atmospheric aerosol content

, 2016
One of the most important radiative properties of aerosols is their optical thickness (AOD), which is closely linked to the total burden of atmospheric aerosols. On the contrary, we do avail of long time series of sunshine duration (SD) measurements, which is defined as the total time length of those sub-periods for which the direct solar irradiance ...
