Abstract
⺠For the first time aerosol optical properties have analyzed in two cities of Pakistan. ⺠AAE vs. EAE provide an indication of urban-industrial and mineral dust aerosols. ⺠SSA and RI values suggest that anthropogenic aerosols are dominated at Lahore than at Karachi. ⺠Large differences between surface and TOA forcing reveal significant heating in the atmosphere. ⺠The AERONET-SBDART correlation coefficients are 0.99 for Lahore and 0.98 for Karachi.
