Aerosol Radiative Closure in ACE-2 Based on Transmissometer Measurements

To characterize the radiative properties of aerosols over the oceans so as to understand the factors that affect radiation transmission (UV, visible and IR) in the marine boundary layer (MBL) close to the ocean surface. To interpret the temporal and spatial variability of aerosol and radiative prope...

Description
Summary:To characterize the radiative properties of aerosols over the oceans so as to understand the factors that affect radiation transmission (UV, visible and IR) in the marine boundary layer (MBL) close to the ocean surface. To interpret the temporal and spatial variability of aerosol and radiative properties in terms of aerosol sources (both oceanic and continental, natural and anthropogenic); to relate the variability of the aerosol and the consequent radiative behavior of the atmosphere in terms of meteorological conditions and atmospheric transport processes.
