  • Abstract
    Concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5) is a good indicator of air pollution by anthropogenic aerosols in particular near surface. However instrumentation of PM2.5 is still on going in East Asia even in Japan. This work intends to develop an algorithm for estimating PM2.5 distribution based on the satellite measurements. Combined use of satellite derived columnar aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and vertical distribution of aerosol extinction by ground-based LIDAR measurements is available for estimation of near surface AOT. Thus the derived correlation between AOT and PM2.5 is utilized to retrieve satellite based PM2.5.
