| Abstract | Satellite' sensors as well as ground-based sun photometers instruments surface are utilized gather data about the quantitative composition of components in the Earth's atmosphere. The relationships among these components produce effects in different phenomena, like regional climate change. Aerosols, consisting of particles from 0.01 to 10 µm, are atmosphere components, whose effects are still poorly understood. Through Remote Sensing, it is possible to classify them and gain information about their role in different atmospheric processes: low visibility, solar energy balance, cloud formation and increases or decreases of the quantity of precipitation. This paper describes how the study and analysis of satellite-based and ground-based measurements can be used to develop and validate a novel procedure to calculate the optical properties of temporal aerosols found in and around Guadalajara, based on previous algorithms:, to determine the aerosol size distribution function, scattering phase function, single scattering albedo, complex refractive index and asymmetry parameter. The quantifiable knowledge about the temporal and regional aerosols' optical properties will contribute to future investigations related to their quantitative effects on atmospheric processes in this region. These effects include: alteration of weather and climate, change of the tropospheric temperature, contribution to environmental ills, the formation and properties of the clouds, effects on the ecosystems, local solar energy balance, and the impacts on human health. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
