Intercity Comparison of Aerosol Optical Depth and Modelled Surface Dust Concentrations across Seven West African Cities (2019–2025)

Aka Jacques Adon, Yao Tchetche, Véronique Yoboué & François-Xavier Djézia Bella Bouo · Physical Science International Journal · 2026

Satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) is widely used as a proxy for surface particulate pollution where ground monitoring is scarce, including in West Africa. This study tests whether this substitution holds for mineral dust by comparing MODIS MAIAC AOD (550 nm) with MERRA-2 mode...
