OMI Tropospheric NO2 Column • Sensitive in the Boundary layer • Qualitative agreement with high NOx regions (i.e urban areas)
MODIS Aerosol Optical Depth • At least two daily observations - Terra and Aqua • Sensitive to Boundary Layer Industrial, smoke & dust aerosols • Well validated over land • Fine mode fraction
OMI UV Aerosol Index • Mostly sensitive to absorbing aerosols above the planetary boundary layer (i.e transported smoke plumes)
