ABSTRACT
In combination with the severe haze pollution on December 5, 2013 in Shanghai, China, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) remote sensing images are taken as data sources tries to use V5.2 algorithm to monitor the severe haze pollution. The sensitivity analysis result of continental aerosols, marine aerosols, dust aerosols and city type aerosols show that there is only continental aerosol model that corresponds to the fundamentals of the V5.2 algorithm for MODIS remote sensing data. On the basis of the sensitivity analysis of various aerosol types in terms of MODIS remote sensing data, the continental aerosol type was more identical with the characteristic of MODIS remote sensing data and the actual situation in the Shanghai area. The maximum aerosol optical depth lies in the Baoshan District and Jiading District, the minimum aerosol optical depth lies in the Chongming County, which is near the Yangtze River estuary and coastal areas of Pudong New Area.
