3rd AEROCOM workshop
(held at NASA-GISS in New York, USA, December 1-3, 2004)
This document contains presentations and posters of the AEROCOM
workshop in New York in December 2003. Contributions are bundled
by topic:
GENERAL
- The GENERAL INFO section
summarizes AeroCom project goals, provides the workshop
program and lists names and e-mails of the workshop participants
- The OVERVIEW section contains
summary presentations of the model-evaluation team, illustrating
model diversity and modeling skill based on comparisons
to available data-sets.
INDIRECT EFFECT
- The CLOUD DATA section reviews
the quality of available cloud products from remote sensing
in order to understand the value of correlations between
particular aerosol and clouds properties for insights into
aerosol cloud interactions
- The OBSERVED
CLOUD-AEROSOL CORRELATIONS section reports on correlations
between neighboring aerosol and cloud properties in search
of signs for aerosol cloud interactions
- The INDIRECT
EFFECT SIMULATIONS section provides samples on efforts
in global modeling to parameterize and quantify the aerosol
influence on other atmospheric properties, in particular
clouds (the mainly modulators to climate).
AEROSOL PROPERTIES
- The AEROSOL OPTICAL
DEPTH section addresses the capabilities of available
aot data-sets and illustrates diversity and skill in global
modeling
- The AEROSOL SIZE section
contains addresses the capabilities of available data-sets
on aerosol size and illustrates capabilities to reproduce
measurements in global modeling by comparing size-lated
properties such as Angstrom parameter or accumulation mode
size fraction
- The AEROSOL ABSORPTION
section addresses the capabilities of available data-set
to quantify aerosol absorption and illustrates diversity
in global modeling
- The AEROSOL ALTITUDE
section addresses the capabilities of available data-sets
to capture the vertical distribution of aerosols and illustrates
diversity and skill over selected ground sites in global
modeling
AEROSOL FORCING
- The AEROSOL DIRECT
FORCING section addresses efforts to quantify the aerosol
direct forcing from measurements and gives an initial glimpse
on diversity and skil in global modeling
EXTRAS
- 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).
- The SOURCES section introduces
data and efforts towards a common inventory of aerosol emission
data for the years 2000 and 1750 (pre-industrial conditions)
in support of model sensitivities studies with identical
assumptions for aerosol (component) emissions
