Abstract The A-train (CALIPSO and MODIS-Aqua) satellite data from January 2007 to October 2007 has been used in this paper to study the aerosol distribution characteristics of space and time on northern China (divided into three parts: the west region-W area, central region-M area, east area region-E). (1) The Aqua - MODIS satellite data can be better reflect the distribution of aerosols in north China region; (2) MODIS and CALIPSO satellite retrievaled the column aerosol optical depth distribution characteristics were basically the same, AOD high value area was distributed in W area-south xinjiang basin and low-lying plain of north China region; (3) MODIS and CALIPSO retrieval of aerosol optical depth distribution characteristics of northern China satellite were basically the same was: W areas AOD of the high value in seasonal distribution characteristic was: spring>summer>autumn, then winter increases slowly; E areas AOD of the high value in seasonal distribution characteristic was: summer>spring, followed by autumn and winter minimum.
