Description
Summary:Aerosol study in Southeast Asia is one of the hottest issues in the globe. Southeast Asia (SEA) region hosts one of the most complex meteorological and environment conditions. Therefore, determining temporal and spatial aerosol distribution pattern in Southeast Asia are essential for better understanding the role of aerosol in the global climate and environmental assessments. The dominant aerosol types distributed in 14 sites over SEA in different seasonal monsoon are determined. The dominant aerosol types are identified by aerosol classification method based on several threshold criteria suggested by different researchers. Seasonal monsoons cause to various dominant aerosol type in SEA regions during a different season. This study can give a better understanding of the aerosol distribution in SEA in term of temporal and spatial.
