Over the last two decades and due to rapid economic growth, the South-East Asia region experiences mild to severe smoke episodes generated from annual biomass burning events, usually occurring during the regions's dry season that can last several months (June to October). Such a events poses a hazard to the region itself and specially to Singapore due to close proximity to the land masses of Sumatra...
We report our first measurements, over the 2011 dry season period, of aerosol optical depth, Angstrom exponent number and its fine mode counterpart obtained from photometric measurements at AERONET's newest site located at the city of Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia. This site was set up as part of the collaborative efforts of the Seven South East Asian Studies (7SEAS) regional aerosol measurements...
We report our first photometric measurements of aerosol optical depth from AERONET's mini-DRAGON sites at Singapore performed over the months of August and September 2012. Multi-spectral measurements of aerosol optical depth provide essential spectral information to obtain and/or retrieve the so-called Angstrom exponent number which is an essential parameter for inferring aerosol particle size regime...
Over the past two decades, the Asia and South-Asia region has experienced a dramatic economic, industrial and population grow. Big cities are becoming large emission sources of anthropogenic aerosols resulting from the incessant industrial activity. In rural areas, clearance of large forested areas, via the method of burning, has resulted in severe smoke emission episodes during the 1996–2006 decade...
