Sun photometers are widely used for aerosol optical property monitoring due to the advantages of fully automatic acquisition, simple maintenance, standardization of data processing, and low uncertainty. Research sites are mostly concentrated in cities, while the long-term analysis of aerosol optical depth (AOD) for the pollution transmission channel in rural Beijing is still lacking. Here, we obtained an AOD monitoring dataset from August 2017 to March 2019 using the ground-based CE-318 sun photometer at the Gucheng meteorological observation site in southwest Beijing. These sun photometer AOD data were used for the ground-based validation of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and AHI (Advanced Himawari Imager) AOD data. It was found that MODIS and AHI can reflect AOD variation trends by sun photometer on daily, monthly, and seasonal scales. The original AOD measurements of the sun photometer show good correlations with satellite observations by MODIS (R = 0.97), and AHI (R = 0.89), respectively, corresponding to their different optimal spatial and temporal windows for matching with collocated satellite ground pixels. However, MODIS is less stable for aerosols of different concentrations and particle sizes. Most of the linear regression intercepts between the satellite and the photometer are less than 0.1, indicating that the errors due to surface reflectance in the inversion are small, and the slope is least biased (AHI: slope = 0.91, MODIS: slope = 0.18) in the noon period (11 a.m.\u20132 p.m.) and most biased in summer (AHI: slope = 0.77, MODIS: slope = 1.31), probably due to errors in the aerosol model. The daily and seasonal variation trends between CE-318 AOD measurements in the Gucheng site and fine particulate observations from the national air quality site nearby were also compared and investigated. In addition, a typical haze\u2013dust complex pollution event in North China was analyzed and the changes in AOD during the pollution event were quantified. In processing, we use sun photometer and satellite AOD data in combination with meteorological and PM data. Overall, this paper has implications for the study of AOD evolution patterns at different time scales, the association between PM2.5 concentrations and AOD changes, and pollution monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14122908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T11:45:44Z","timestamp":1655466344000},"page":"2908","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Variation of Aerosol Optical Depth Measured by Sun Photometer at a Rural Site near Beijing during the 2017\u20132019 Period"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9301-2849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiu","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Jinlong","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"School of Atmospheric Physics, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Tianwen","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Yunpeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Kenan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Haiyun","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"School of Atmospheric Physics, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113138","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envpol.2019.113138","article-title":"Impacts of atmospheric particulate matter pollution on environmental biogeochemistry of trace metals in soil-plant system: A review","volume":"255","author":"Luo","year":"2019","journal-title":"Environ.
