Synergy of AERONET and MODIS AOD products in the estimation of PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing.

Abstract:

:Satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) is widely used to estimate particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) mass concentrations. Polar orbiting satellite retrieval 1-2 times each day is frequently affected by cloud, snow cover or misclassification of heavy pollution. Novel methods are therefore required to improve AOD sampling. Sunphotometer provides much more AODs than satellite at a fixed point. Furthermore, much of the aerosol pollution is regional. Both factors indicate that sunphotometer has great potential for PM2.5 concentration estimation. The spatial representativeness of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) AOD at Beijing site is investigated by linear regression analysis of 13-year daily paired AODs at each grid from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Aqua and Beijing AERONET. The result suggests a good correlation for the whole Beijing Administrative region, with regional mean correlation coefficient exceeding 0.73. Pixel AODs are then estimated from AERONET AOD using linear equations, which are verified to have the same accuracy as that of MODIS AOD. Either AOD from MODIS retrieval or estimation from AERONET AOD in the absence of MODIS pixel AOD is finally used to predict PM2.5 concentration. Daily AOD sampling in average is enhanced by 59% in winter when MODIS AODs are very limited. More importantly, synergy of AERONET and MODIS AOD is able to improve the estimation of regional mean PM2.5 concentrations, which indicates this method would play a significant role in monitoring regional aerosol pollution.
