摘要：Environmental security is totally relegated in countries of West Africa. The monitoring of the aerosolsloading over Cotonou was the aim of this study. The outcome of our finding has salient links to foodsecurity, aviation and communication industry, thermal comfort and climate system of Benin. Cotonouis located on longitude 2.43°E and latitude 6.37°N. Fifteen years data were obtained from the multi-angled spectro-reflectometry (MISR). The aerosol loading was monitored using analytical and statisticaltechniques. The aerosols retention over Cotonou was high in 2000 (69.91%), 2008 (72%) and 2013(42.45%). This means that there is the possibility of higher rising sea levels and exposure to coastalerosion due to a twisted cloud formation.
