The SEVIRI AOD was compared against multiple data sources: six stations of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) in Romania and Poland, three stations of the Aerosol Research Network in Poland (Poland\u2013AOD) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data overlapping Romania, Czech Republic and Poland. The correlation values between a four-month dataset (June\u2013September 2014) from SEVIRI and the closest temporally available data for both ground-based and satellite products were identified. The comparison of the SEVIRI AOD with the AERONET AOD observations generally shows a good correlation (r = 0.48\u20130.83). The mean bias is 0.10\u20130.14 and the root mean square error RMSE is between 0.11 and 0.15 for all six stations cases. For the comparison with Poland\u2013AOD correlation values are 0.55 to 0.71. The mean bias is 0.04\u20130.13 and RMSE is between 0.10 and 0.14. As for the intercomparison to MODIS AOD, correlations values were generally lower (r = 0.33\u20130.39). Biases of \u22120.06 to 0.24 and RMSE of 0.04 to 0.28 were in good agreement with the ground\u2013stations retrievals. The validation of SEVIRI AOD with AERONET results in the best correlations followed by the Poland\u2013AOD network and MODIS retrievals. The average uncertainty estimates are evaluated resulting in most of the AOD values falling above the expected error range. A revised uncertainty estimate is proposed by including the observed bias form the AERONET validation efforts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13050844","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,25]],"date-time":"2021-02-25T02:36:13Z","timestamp":1614220573000},"page":"844","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["SEVIRI Aerosol Optical Depth Validation Using AERONET and Intercomparison with MODIS in Central and Eastern Europe"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2042-1967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolae","family":"Ajtai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 30 Fantanele St., 400294 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}]},{"given":"Alexandru","family":"Mereuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 30 Fantanele St., 400294 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}]},{"given":"Horatiu","family":"Stefanie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 30 Fantanele St., 400294 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}]},{"given":"Andrei","family":"Radovici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 30 Fantanele St., 400294 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}]},{"given":"Camelia","family":"Botezan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 30 Fantanele St., 400294 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8751-3914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Zawadzka-Manko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Pasteura 5, 02-093 Warsaw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3890-2953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Stachlewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Pasteura 5, 02-093 Warsaw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6935-7564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kerstin","family":"Stebel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NILU\u2014Norwegian Institute for Air Research NILU, Instituttveien 18, 2007 Kjeller, Norway"}]},{"given":"Claus","family":"Zehner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Space Research Institute, European Space Agency, 00044 Frascati, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1233","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)11274-8","article-title":"Air pollution and health","volume":"360","author":"Brunekreef","year":"2002","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Stocker, T.F., Qin, D., Plattner, G.-K., Tignor, M., Allen, S.K., Boschung, J., Nauels, A., Xia, Y., Bex, V., and Midgley, P.M.
