    Abstract
    The knowledge of aerosol optical properties plays an important role in estimation of the direct aerosol forcing. The aerosol optical thickness obtained from MODIS and Microtops II Sunphotometer is described. The data has been collected from the part of west coastline of India which are economically commercial areas. Due to anthropogenic activities the aerosols optical thickness (AOT) are more fluctuating. AOT values are plotted from MODIS and multispectral Sun-photometer with four spectral channels at 440, 500, 675 and 870 nm. The AOT values derived from MODIS and Sun-photometer are found to correlate well. The error observed in the MODIS derived AOT values is attributed to the atmospheric correction algorithm used for processing the satellite data. The aerosol optical thickness has been evaluated at different places.
