Abstrakt: The article presents a study on the assessment of accuracy for Aqua-moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) algorithms. The study made use of data collected from 62 coastal stations worldwide from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). The result of the study shows that there was a slower wind speeds over the global coastal region as revealed by the Modern Era for Research and Applications (MERRA).
