Aerosol pollution over Moscow slightly decreases

Aerosols are one of the most important factors influencing the level of radiation in the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere and thus the whole climate. However, the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols have not been broadly studied. Data on its optical effects is largely collected by satellites. Ground-based systems, though, provide us with more accurate information. AERONET is a wide-ranging, automatized system, equipped with sun and sky photometers that allow continuing and precise
