Yv. Yarkho, TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROS OL OPTICAL DEPTH IN DIFFERENT CLIMATIC REGIONS, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 30(3), 1994, pp. 417-424
Temporal and spatial variability of atmospheric aerosol optical depth
tau(a, lambda0) at lambda = 550 nm for european territory of former US
SR is investigated. Background latitude values tau(a, lambda0) were ob
tained and the influence of large industrial centers on atmospheric op
tical depth is estimated. The influence of industrial factors on atmos
pheric transparency was analyzed. The significant trends of tau(a, lam
bda0) for industrial regions were evaluated.
