Sensitivity of Retrieved Aerosol Properties to Assumptions in the Inversion of Spectral Optical Depths
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The uncertainties of integral aerosol properties calculated using aerosol size distributions retrieved from multiwavelength observations of aerosol optical depth have been determined for a variety of typical atmospheric ...
Variability of Aerosol Optical Properties at Four North American Surface Monitoring Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol optical properties measured over several years at surface monitoring stations located at Bondville, Illinois (BND); Lamont, Oklahoma (SGP); Sable Island, Nova Scotia (WSA); and Barrow, Alaska (BRW), have been ...
Why Hasn’t Earth Warmed as Much as Expected?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he observed increase in global mean surface temperature (GMST) over the industrial era is less than 40% of that expected from observed increases in long-lived greenhouse gases together with the best-estimate equilibrium ...

Mesoscale Variations of Tropospheric Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropospheric aerosols are calculated to cause global-scale changes in the earth's heat balance, but these forcings are space/time integrals over highly variable quantities. Accurate quantification of these forcings will ...
Scientific Objectives, Measurement Needs, and Challenges Motivating the PARAGON Aerosol Initiative
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosols are involved in a complex set of processes that operate across many spatial and temporal scales. Understanding these processes, and ensuring their accurate representation in models of transport, radiation transfer, ...
Overview of the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary goal of the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study (CHAPS) was to characterize and contrast freshly emitted aerosols below, within, and above fields of cumuli, and to study changes to the cloud microphysical ...
Aerosol Data Sources and Their Roles within PARAGON
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We briefly but systematically review major sources of aerosol data, emphasizing suites of measurements that seem most likely to contribute to assessments of global aerosol climate forcing. The strengths and limitations of ...
