Fig. 44.3 The left panel shows month to month changes in 15-year mean MERRA sulfate AOD
over Taiwan. MERRA sulfate AOD was averaged for the five specified GEOS-5 grid boxes of 0.5 o
latitude by 0.625 o longitude each, located in the vicinity of AERONET sites (the orange open boxes
on the right panel). The standard deviation of AOD is shown by the black vertical lines. The right
panel represents the study area (Updated from Kishcha et al. [2])
