Visibility-derived aerosol optical depth over global land from 1959 to 2021
Abstract. Long-term and high spatial resolution aerosol optical depth (AOD) data are essential for climate change detection and attribution. Global ground-based AOD observations are sparsely distributed, and satellite AOD retrievals have a low temporal frequency as well low accuracy before 2000 over land. In this study, AOD at 550 nm is derived from visibility observations collected at more than 5000 meteorological stations over global land regions from 1959 to 2021. The AOD retrievals (550 nm) of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the Aqua Earth observation satellite are used to train the machine learning model, and the ERA5 reanalysis boundary layer height is used to convert the surface visibility to AOD. Comparisons with an independent dataset (AERONET ground-based observations) show that the predicted AOD has a correlation coefficient of 0.55 at the daily scale. The correlation coefficients are higher at monthly and annual scales, which are 0.61 and 0.65, respectively. The evaluation shows consistent predictive ability prior to 2000, with correlation coefficients of 0.54, 0.66, and 0.66 at the daily, monthly, and annual scales, respectively. Due to the small number and sparse visibility stations prior to 1980, the global and regional analysis in this study is from 1980 to 2021. From 1980 to 2021, the mean visibility-derived AOD values over global land areas, the Northern Hemisphere, and the Southern Hemisphere are 0.177, 0.178, and 0.175, with a trend of −0.0029 per 10 years, −0.0030 per 10 years, and −0.0021 per 10 years from 1980 to 2021. The regional means (trends) of AOD are 0.181 (−0.0096 per 10 years), 0.163 (−0.0026 per 10 years), 0.146 (−0.0017 per 10 years), 0.165 (−0.0027 per 10 years), 0.198 (−0.0075 per 10 years), 0.281 (−0.0062 per 10 years), 0.182 (−0.0016 per 10 years), 0.133 (−0.0028 per 10 years), 0.222 (0.0007 per 10 years), 0.244 (−0.0009 per 10 years), 0.241 (0.0130 per 10 years), and 0.254 (0.0119 per 10 years) in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Western North America, Eastern North America, Central South America, Western Africa, Southern Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Eastern China, and India, respectively. However, the trends decrease significantly in Eastern China (−0.0572 per 10 years) and Northeast Asia (−0.0213 per 10 years) after 2014, with the larger increasing trend found after 2005 in India (0.0446 per 10 years). The visibility-derived daily AOD dataset at 5032 stations over global land from 1959 to 2021 is available from the National Tibetan Plateau/Third Pole Environment Data Center (https://doi.org/10.11888/Atmos.tpdc.300822) (Hao et al., 2023).

期刊介绍:
Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal that publishes articles on original research data in order to promote the reuse of high-quality data in the field of Earth system sciences. The journal welcomes submissions of original data or data collections that meet the required quality standards and have the potential to contribute to the goals of the journal. It includes sections dedicated to regular-length articles, brief communications (such as updates to existing data sets), commentaries, review articles, and special issues. ESSD is abstracted and indexed in several databases, including Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents/PCE, Scopus, ADS, CLOCKSS, CNKI, DOAJ, EBSCO, Gale/Cengage, GoOA (CAS), and Google Scholar, among others.
