Abstract

The Angstrom coefficient is the measure of the dominance of fine particles in the atmosphere. This study aims to compare the Angstrom coefficient during weekends, weekdays, and to record its daily and monthly trends using the Manila Observatory's AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) sunphotometer. The results show that fine aerosol content in the vicinity during weekends and weekdays do not differ significantly.
