Abstract

Aerosol optical depths for four wavelengths (368, 500, 675, 862 nm) were obtained using a commercial sunphotometer over Manila. A total of 33 values of mean AOD were calculated in the morning (11) and afternoon (22) sessions from 1 March to 2 April 2004 in DLSU-Manila. The aerosol optical depth ranged between 0.1 and 1.2. The AOD spectra showed that aerosol extinct more of the shorter wavelengths than the longer ones.
