Abstract

The publisher regrets that the printed version of the above article contained a number of errors. The correct and final version follows. The publisher would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. The caption of Fig. 5 should be read as “Fig. 5(a). Mean monthly SCA over Northern Pakistan for the period 2005–2015.” The caption of Fig. 6 should be read as “Fig. 5(b). Same as Figure 5(a), but for the MERRA Model.” The caption of Fig. 7 should be read as “Fig. 6. Inter-comparison between the SCA derived from the MODIS and MERRA model over the study region.” The caption of Fig. 8 should be read as “Fig. 7. Box-whisker plots summarizing the mean monthly variation in (a) SCA, (b) SST, (c) SA, (d) AOD, and (e) AAOD over the entire study region from 2005 to 2015. Each box indicates the 25th and 75th percentiles and the whiskers show the 5th and 95th percentiles. The vertical lines show the standard deviation from the mean value. The small circle and horizontal line enclosed by each box represent the mean and median values, respectively. The maximum and minimum values are represented by the crosses above and below the boxes, respectively. The monthly mean values (± standard deviation) associated with each parameter are also included in their respective panels.” The caption of Fig. 9 should be read as “Fig. 8. Aerosol subtypes profile derived from CALIPSO for the selected months of March, April, May, and June over Northern Pakistan.” While Fig. 9 caption is missing and should be included as follows: [Figure presented]
