Short summary

We investigated the regional and local variation of aerosols based on large and small gridded sun photometer networks. The results show that long-range transboundary aerosols strongly affect aerosol condition over Japan even at a small island in the East China Sea. A dense instrument network (DRAGON) reveals the magnitude and variation of local aerosols.
