Abstract

In this work, three basic parameters for aerosol characterization, Aerosol Optical Thickness, Angstrom Exponent and Angstrom Coefficient are used for aerosol analysis over Ghardaia site. We have found that the transmission of solar radiation can reach 95 %.The values of the Angstrom Exponent and the Angstrom Coefficient determined from MODIS compared to those obtained by measurement global irradiance component using Iqbal C model show the same trend during the year 2005. The monthly mean values of the Angstrom exponent and the Angstrom coefficient are 1.248 and 0.037 determined from orbit data and those from Iqbal C model are 2.026 and 0.067 respectively.
