The MERRA-2 Aerosol Reanalysis, 1980 Onward. Part I: System Description and Data Assimilation Evaluation

TL;DR: This first of a pair of studies documents the MERRA-2 aerosol assimilation, including a description of the prognostic model, aerosol emissions, and the quality control of ingested observations, and provides initial validation and evaluation of the analyzed AOD fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerosol classification using airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar measurements – methodology and examples

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology based on observations of known aerosol types is used to qualitatively classify the extensive set of airborne high-spectral resolution lidar measurements into eight separate types.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 2010 California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) field study

TL;DR: The California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) field study was conducted throughout California in May, June, and July of 2010 as discussed by the authors to address issues simultaneously relevant to atmospheric pollution and climate change, including emission inventory assessment, atmospheric transport and dispersion, atmospheric chemical processing, and cloud-aerosol interactions and aerosol radiative effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sources, seasonality, and trends of southeast US aerosol: an integrated analysis of surface, aircraft, and satellite observations with the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model

TL;DR: This article used an ensemble of surface (EPA CSN, IMPROVE, SEARCH, AERONET), aircraft (SEAC4RS), and satellite (MODIS, MISR) observations over the southeast US during the summer-fall of 2013 to better understand aerosol sources in the region and the relationship between surface particulate matter (PM) and aerosol optical depth (AOD).
