Aerosols, both natural and anthropogenic, are an important but complex component of the Earth’s climate system. Their net impact on is about equal in magnitude to that greenhouse gases can vary significantly by region type. Understanding quantifying these aerosol effects critical for accurate modeling developing strategies mitigate change. In this paper, we utilize AERONET (Aerosol Robotic NETwork) data from 10 stations situated dust belt characterize properties essential change assessment. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 500 nm Ångström exponent (α) pair wavelengths 440 870 (α440-870) study analyzed discriminate among different types aerosols. The annual monthly variabilities AODs see aerosols trend region. addition, AOD α440-870 utilized order determine during period study. Furthermore, correlation coefficient between various meteorological parameters (temperature, wind speed, direction, relative humidity, visibility) analyzed. results indicate Tamanrasset (2.49%), KAUST (1.29%), Solar Village (1.67%), Dalanzadgad (0.64%) increasing trend, while Cairo (−0.38%), Masdar (−2.31%), Dushanbe (−1.18%), Lahore (−0.10%) a decreasing period. Similarly, characterizing show highest percentage desert (68%), mixed (86%), biomass burning (15%) found over Tamanrasset, Lahore, stations. revealed strong visibility, moderate with temperature, low other (wind humidity) very encouraging enhance our confidence using historical improve understanding atmospheric aerosols’ characteristics.

Indonesia is a tropical region experiencing rapid industrial growth. Gresik City located in East Java Province, Indonesia, and recognized as an area with major activities including nickel steel smelting, electronics, petrochemicals, energy production. Sukorejo Gulomantung villages are coastal areas residential conditions surrounded by industries. Industrial emit CO2 emissions, which can enhance the greenhouse effect. One of initial steps controlling gases through assessment aboveground biomass calculation carbon stocks. This study estimates stocks from vegetation to absorb emissions June August 2023. Calculation uses data on consumption electricity usage sources. estimated absorbed using allometric equations. based (AGB) vegetation. The estimation AGB conducted equations wood density diameter at breast height (DBH). research findings indicate that total sources amount 165 196.14 tons/year. stock 2871.74 tons/ha absorption capacity 22 403.68 tons/year, resulting 142 792.46 tons/year unabsorbed CO2.
