A multi-annual time series is shown here: total AOD (black), Fine Mode AOD (blue), Dust AOD (brown), together with sea salt AOD (SSAOD, from the CAMS model, green).
A multi-annual time series is shown here: total AOD (black), Fine Mode AOD (blue), Dust AOD (brown), together with sea salt AOD (SSAOD, from the CAMS model, green).
The different time series are consistent, which can be proven since the sum of the AOD components FMAOD+DAOD+SSAOD (purple) agrees with the independently derived total AOD within its uncertainty range of (grey shading).
