Abstract
The impact of biomass burning and pollution on Southeast Asia (SEA) is of considerable concern to global climate change researchers. Geographical location, topography and meteorological factors affecting SEA all contribute to the complexity of the aerosols system worldwide. However, frequent cloud cover in the region results in a lack of measurements and observations obtained by remote sensing techniques. Therefore obtaining continuous aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements is a difficult task. To address such issues, this
study is first investigate the inter-relationship between fire activity, ground smoke emission,
rainfall events, typhoon activity and outgoing longwave radiation in both the northern and southern regions of SEA between 2011 and 2013, to identify the correlation between these parameters and determine a specific location, Penang (where frequent cover by cloud) to be founded for an empirical algorithm to predict AOD data.
