Aerosol characterization over Penang, Malaysia using aerosol robotic network (AERONET)
Ground-based solar photometer measurements were utilized in the ambiance of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Penang and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Penang during September-November 2013 with a specific end goal to portray the characteristics of the local atmospheric environment. This both sites...
