No references found			Their 30-day pilot study has shown the existence of large, 1km by 1km scale hazy air masses with strongly varying spectral extinction -- a measure for aerosol attenuation to sunlight -- which could be a sign of aerosol pollution, and has demonstrated that the methodology is potentially applicable for daily, global monitoring of aerosols and surface color over cloud-free areas.
