Retrieving global aerosol sources from satellites using inverse modeling
Understanding aerosol effects on global climate requires knowing the global distribution of tropospheric aerosols. By accounting for aerosol sources, transports, and removal processes, chemical transport models simulate the global aerosol distribution using archived meteorological fields. We develop an algorithm for retrieving global aerosol sources from satellite observations of aerosol distri...
متن کاملAtmospheric aerosol measurements from satellites
Satellite instruments are commonly used for measurements of aerosol optical properties in the atmosphere. In this work we use such measurements for ultra-high energy cosmic ray studies. We introduce a method of preparation of aerosol maps for the location of the Pierre Auger Observatory. For these maps the data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) of the Aura satellite were analyzed for t...
متن کاملInverse modeling of methane sources and sinks using the adjoint of a global transport model
An inverse modeling method is presented to evaluate the sources and sinks of atmospheric methane. An adjoint version of a global transport model has been used to estimate these fluxes at a relatively high spatial and temporal resolution. Measurements from 34 monitoring stations and 11 locations along two ship cruises by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration have been used as...
متن کاملModeling Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation From Emissions of Combustion Sources
Semi-volatile and reactive primary organic aerosols are modeled on a global scale using the GISS GCM II' “unified” climate model. We employ the volatility basis set framework to simulate emissions, chemical reactions and phase partitioning of primary and secondary organic aerosol (POA and SOA). The model also incorporates the emissions and reactions of intermediate volatility organic compounds ...
متن کاملInverse modeling of aerosol dynamics: Condensational growth
[1] The feasibility of inverse modeling a multicomponent, size-resolved aerosol evolving by condensation/evaporation is investigated. The adjoint method is applied to the multicomponent aerosol dynamic equation in a box model (zero-dimensional) framework. Both continuous and discrete formulations of the model (the forward equation) and the adjoint are considered. A test example is studied in wh...
