Aerosol Data Sources and Their Roles within PARAGON

چکیده
OCTOBER 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | he data supporting aerosol research can be obtained either observationally or indirectly from models. Observations can be broadly divided into routine monitoring efforts, which may be used to continuously evaluate an assimilation model, or episodically generated data, localized in space and/or time (Fig. 1). Assimilated monitoring results, if they require large model adjustments in certain areas or under certain conditions, offer obvious clues to poor model representations of the aerosol physics. Episodic data, produced for example by large, coordinated field campaigns, are typically not assimilated directly into models, but provide atmospheric snapshots containing detail, unobtainable elsewhere, to diagnose model

OCTOBER 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | A erosols are airborne suspensions of tiny particles, each typically about one-thousandth the diameter of the period at the end of this sentence. Cumulatively, they have profound effects at a variety of scales, exerting myriad influences on the earth’s environment and climate and on human health. Many aerosols originate from natural sources—volcano...
