Abstract

Abstract:

Based on level-2 data from CE-318 installed at Taihu Lake(one of AERONET sites) from September 2005 to September 2010, variation of single scattering albedo (SSA) with time and the frequency distribution features were analyzed. Maximum and minimum monthly mean values of SSA were observed in August (0.95±0.03) and December (0.87±0.03), respectively. Maximum and minimum of seasonal mean value of SSA were observed in summer (0.94±0.03) and winter (0.88±0.04), respectively. Frequency distribution of SSA shows that the peak value is between 0.9 to 0.92, with a yearly average value of 0.90. The aerosol over Taihu Lake should be classified as moderate absorbing aerosol.

Key words: aerosol, single scattering albedo, observation data, lake color remote sensing, CE-318
