For several decades, satellite-based microwave sensors have provided valuable soil moisture monitoring in various surface conditions. We have first developed a modeled aerosol optical depth (AOD) dataset by utilizing Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2), and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) soil moisture datasets in order to estimate dust outbreaks over desert areas of East Asia. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer- (MODIS-) based AOD products were used as reference datasets to validate the modeled AOD (MA). The SMOS-based MA (SMOS-MA) dataset showed good correspondence with observed AOD (-value: 0.56) compared to AMSR2- and GLDAS-based MA datasets, and it overestimated AOD compared to observed AOD. The AMSR2-based MA dataset was found to underestimate AOD, and it showed a relatively low -value (0.35) with respect to observed AOD. Furthermore, SMOS-MA products were able to simulate the short-term AOD trends, having a high -value (0.65). The results of this study may allow us to acknowledge the utilization of microwave-based soil moisture datasets for investigation of near-real time dust outbreak predictions and short-term dust outbreak trend analysis.
