TLDR
In this paper, the authors used Level 3 CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations) averaged monthly data to study the climatology of mean aerosol optical depth (AOD) from 2010 to 2015, and to compare the mean AOD for different satellites for the period of 2015.About:

Distribution and transport characteristics of dust aerosol over Tibetan Plateau and Taklimakan Desert in China using MERRA-2 and CALIPSO data
TL;DR: The distribution and transportation characteristics of dust aerosol over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and Taklimakan Desert (TD) were analyzed during 1980-2017 using MERRA-2 (second Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications) and CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations) products as discussed by the authors.

Assessing Spatio-Temporal Variability of Wildfires and their Impact on Sub-Saharan Ecosystems and Air Quality Using Multisource Remotely Sensed Data and Trend Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used several multisource data to determine the spatial distribution, frequency, disturbance characteristics of and variability and distribution of pollutants emitted by wildfires, and showed an increasing trend in the magnitude of BC, and CO concentration driven by meteorological conditions such as low precipitation, low relative humidity, and low latent heat flux.

TL;DR: The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) was undertaken by NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office with two primary objectives: to place observations from NASA's Earth Observing System satellites into a climate context and to improve upon the hydrologic cycle represented in earlier generations of reanalyses as mentioned in this paper.
