Atmospheric Teleconnection over Eurasia Induced by Aerosol Radiative Forcing during Boreal Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The direct effects of aerosols on global and regional climate during boreal spring are investigated based on numerical simulations with the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office finite-volume general circulation ...
Microphysics and Radiation Effect of Dust on Saharan Air Layer: An HS3 Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA Saharan air layer (SAL) event associated with a nondeveloping African easterly wave (AEW) over the main development region of the eastern Atlantic was sampled by the NASA Global Hawk aircraft on 24?25 August 2013 ...
Direct Insertion of MODIS Radiances in a Global Aerosol Transport Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper results are presented from a simple offline assimilation system that uses radiances from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) channels that sense atmospheric aerosols over land and ocean. ...
Tropospheric Aerosol Optical Thickness from the GOCART Model and Comparisons with Satellite and Sun Photometer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Georgia Institute of Technology?Goddard Global Ozone Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model is used to simulate the aerosol optical thickness τ for major types of tropospheric aerosols including ...
Current and Future Perspectives of Aerosol Research at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
An “A-Train” Strategy for Quantifying Direct Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This document outlines a practical strategy for achieving an observationally based quantification of direct climate forcing by anthropogenic aerosols. The strategy involves a four-step program for shifting the current ...
A Comparison of Model- and Satellite-Derived Aerosol Optical Depth and Reflectivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The determination of an accurate quantitative understanding of the role of tropospheric aerosols in the earth's radiation budget is extremely important because forcing by anthropogenic aerosols presently represents one of ...
