Abstract

The spatial and temporal distribution of aerosol optical thickness for sulfate, black carbon, organic carbon, sea salt, dust, and total aerosols from 1980 to 2017 was analyzed using MERRA-2; six typical regions were selected to study the contribution of each type of aerosol to total aerosol optical depth. The results show that five types of aerosols are unevenly distributed globally and have seasonal variations; the global total aerosol optical thickness is the largest in summer (0.137), followed by spring (0.130), and the smallest in winter (0.118); in the six typical regions, the largest aerosol optical depth is in North Africa whose value is 0.43, followed by the eastern part of China, which is 0.41; the dominant types of aerosols in each region are different, in North America, Eastern China and Central India, sulfate is the dominant aerosol type with the contribution of 66%, 63% and 42% to total AOD, respectively, in the Indian Ocean, South Africa and North Africa, sea salt, organic carbon and dust are the main types of aerosols, respectively, with the contribution of 65%, 51% and 82%, respectively. There is a clear growth trend for black carbon, sulfate and total aerosols in Eastern China and central India and the linear trend 0.007 a-1 and 0.0056 a-1 for total aerosol optical depth in Eastern China and central India, respectively, but after 2010 there is a significant decline in Eastern China.
