The insufficient number of ground-based stations for measuring Particulate Matter <10μm (PM10) in the developing countries hinders PM10 monitoring at a regional scale. The present study aims to develop empirical models for PM10 estimation from space over Malaysia using aerosol optical depth (AOD550) and meteorological (surface temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric stability) data (retrieved or estimated) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) during the period 2007–2011. The MODIS retrievals are found to be satisfactorily correlated with ground-based measurements at Malaysia. Multiple linear regressions (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques are utilized to develop the empirical models for PM10 est...
