Abstract
The AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) inversion data over East Asia (72°E - 135°E, 30°N - 50°N) in spring from 2018 to 2020 were collected to characterize the microphysical and single scattering properties of the dust aerosols in Asia, and a climatological aerosol model was then built up for the Asian dust. A bimodal log-normal size distribution is assumed for the climatological Asian dust model, and the non-spherical effect was considered for the coarse mode only. The microphysical and single scattering properties of dust aerosols are parameterized by the 675-nm AOD and wavelength in the Asian dust aerosol model. The parameterization is based on the fitting or interpolation of the AERONET data. A lookup table was generated based on the Asian dust model via the UNified Linearized Vector Radiative Transfer Model (UNL-VRTM) for retrieving the dust plume height from Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) measurements.
