EP/TOMS satellite-derived aerosol index (AI) data have been analyzed over typical tropical urban environment corresponding to Hyderabad, India to study seasonal and annual distribution of UV-absorbing aerosols. Observations reveal that UV-absorbing aerosol loading is highly seasonal. During the years 1987, 1991 and 1992 high concentration of UV-absorbing aerosols into the atmosphere over Hyderabad region has been observed. UV-absorbing aerosols are high during summer period. Ground-based measurements of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and satellite-derived AI showed good correlation with AOD at 380 nm. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
