a–c, The 3-day lead-time global forecasts for AOD and its 5 key components—SUAOD, DUAOD, BCAOD, OCAOD and SSAOD—from operational AI-GAMFS (a), GEOS-FP (b) and MERRA-2 (c), initialized at 22:30 UTC on 26 July 2024. d,e, Forecasting errors of operational AI-GAMFS (d) and GEOS-FP (e) relative to MERRA-2 reanalysis data. Overall accuracy metrics (that is, spatial R and RMSE values) for operational AI-GAMFS and GEOS-FP are also indicated in the lower-left corner of each panel in d and e.
