Impact of data quality and surface-to-column representativeness on the PM<sub>2.5</sub> / satellite AOD relationship for the contiguous United States

Satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) observations have been used to estimate particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm (PM<sub>2.5</sub>). However, such a relationship could be affected by the representativeness of satellite-derived AOD to surface aerosol particle mass concentratio...
