Demonstration of how to combine the individual AODs in a complimentary way for a given day (May 11, 2008). (a) diurnal changes of the individual and combined AODs. To ease visual comparison of these AODs, we “zoom-in” on their diurnal changes by selecting a narrow (3-h) temporal window. (b) normalized frequency and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of standard deviation (StDv) of the combined AOD calculated for the given day, (c) the number of points (time instances) of the individual and combined AODs calculated for overlapped periods.
