[RegCNET] 6 Aerosols AOD distribution

[Zakey Ashraf_Saber]

MODIS Satellite can observe all the types of aerosols including dust,
which highly contribute to the level of AOD.  IF you have local
observations, it could be useful to compare your results. Otherwise, I
advice you to use all of the 10 aerosols including the dust.
