1st AEROCOM workshop

(held at CNES Building in Paris, France June 2 and 3, 2003)

This document contains presentations and posters of the AEROCOM workshop in PARIS, France in June 2003. Contributions are bundled by topic:

  1. The GENERAL INFO section summarizes the AeroCom project, provides a workshop summary and lists the major AeroCom goals
  2. The GROUND DATA section contains presentations of longtime aerosol measurements at surface locations
  3. The SATELLITE DATA section contains presentations describing aerosol retrievals from space
  4. The DATA COMPARISONS section compares different aerosol data-sets - also indicating that data can be associated with large uncertainties due to retrieval assumptions or scaling issues
  5. The MODEL DESCRIPTION section introduces global models with aerosol component modules. The modules distinguish between sulfate, organic carbon, black carbon, sea-salt and dust.
  6. The MODEL EVALUATIONS section describes individual efforts to test and evaluate the performance of all models introduced in the MODEL DESCRIPTION section
  7. The MODEL COMPARISONS section contains presentations which compare model output. At times large discrepancies often without a clear understanding of their causes demonstrate the need for the more detailed intercomparisons of AEROCOM. Additional detail is provided in the POSTERS section
  8. The POSTERS section provides a more detailed look on model differences in aerosol component modeling. In addition, simulated (component combined) aerosol optical depths are compared to satellite retrievals and to ground statistics from AERONET. An addition poster illustrates that remote sensing from the ground (with the example of AERONET) can provide (beyond optical depth) much more data on aerosol properties (e.g. size-distribution or absorption).
  9. The SOURCES section introduces data and efforts towards a common inventory of aerosol emission data for the year 2000 for model simulations with identical aerosol source assumptions
