Abstract:The size distributions of three main land aerosols (absorbing, neutral and no-absorbing) were analyzed based on aerosol robotic network (AERONET) level 2.0 data. The problems existing in the current descriptions for land aerosol size distributions were pointed out and the more accurate descriptions were proposed. The results showed when aerosol was dominated by fine particles, the relationship between fine mode radius (rf) and total aerosol optical depth (τt) exhibited high correlation, however coarse mode radius (rc) and τt didn't display such good correlation, and the relationship didn't always exhibit positive correlation, they could also exhibit negative correlation for different aerosol types. When fine mode fraction was low, neither rf and τt nor rc and τt exhibited high correlation. rf and fine mode aerosol optical depth (τf) (or rc and coarse mode aerosol optical depth (τc)) always displayed robust correlation with high coefficients, and different from the relationship between rc and τt which can exhibit positive or negative correlation, rc and τc always exhibited robust negative correlation. Finally, the influences of using the new description in satellite aerosol retrieval were discussed.
