Co-authors are grouped by paper size: close collaborators mostly share smaller papers, while partners in global networks appear on large papers with fifteen or more authors.

The networks the stations belong to

The global networks we measure for, the instrument we run for each, and how long we have been part of it.

Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET)

Aerosol optical depth, measured from the ground by a sun photometer: the number satellite retrievals are checked against.
