Retrieval of PM10 from ADOES Data





Conclusion
This study indicated that the previously calibrated algorithm could be used to generated PM10 using AVNIR data. AVNIR can provide a useful tool for air pollution mapping around Penang Island. The coincident in situ PM10 data must be collected for further analysis. The feasibility of applying the present technique for operational use has to be further validated. Therefore more data will be required for this verification analysis.
