Cooding AOD-MAX-SUM: Dust Dynamics and Air Quality in Khuzestan, Iran (2018-2022)
From 2018 to 2022, this dataset analyzes dust dynamics in Khuzestan Province, Iran, using satellite-derived Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Aerosol Absorption Index (AAI), ground-based PMβ.β
and PMββ measurements, HYSPLIT trajectory modeling, wind rose analysis, and wetland assessments. It was authored by Alireza Yousefi Kebriya and shared on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The study finds strong correlations between satellite and ground data and links dust peaks to drought, wetland shrinkage, and transboundary inflows.
