1 Current Ongoing Relevant Aerosol Measurement Issues Satellite Validation —especially newer satellites (OMI/Aura, CALIOP/CALIPSO, ASP/Glory, …) Aerosol Chemistry, gas to particle conversion, size growth and internal mixing Primary – Secondary aerosol Organic Aerosol (Natural, Anthropogenic) Interactions and Cloud Processes Soot/Black Carbon Dust Optical Properties and Radiative effects Cloud Condensation Nuclei Aerosol, Clouds and Radiation (Clarke/Russell) : Future activities meeting in Virginia Beach

2 HISTOGRAMS OF MAJOR MASS FRACTIONS FOR P, BB AND NON-PLUMES: INTEX-NA Pollution Plumes (P) and Biomass Burning (BB) Plumes identified for 17% of flight hours based upon 95 percentile exceedences of selected trace gas data. Remainder are regional non-plume data. Gamma determined from observed f(RH) Clarke et al., JGR 2007

3 The Influence of OC and Ions upon the humidity response of light scattering, Gamma a) Gamma trends with total ions for pollution with weaker trend for BB. b) Gamma reduced by total OC mass fraction with lower values for BB. Most OC was weakly water soluble but not hygroscopic.

4 Ambient column AOD(550nm) vs. PM 2.5 for INTEX NA Shinozuka et al., 2007 Ambient AOD closure over Aeronet sites Only 3 during INTEX NA, need greater effort to make similar network comparisons!

5 PM2.5 about 55% of ambient AOD and Water contribution about 45% over during INTEX-NA [based upon in-situ f(RH)] As measured Assumes column effective RH = 80% Shinozuka et al., 2007

6 Ambient SSA is constrained and linked to MAEacc and Size Dry Ambient SSA = [ 1 – MAEacc / MSEacc ]^-1 Size, composition and water uptake are related such that the slope of Dry SSA vs. absorption per unit mass (carried in models) shows an expected size dependency that collapses to a simpler dependency under ambient conditions. Provides constraints on models and retrievals.

7 The wavelength dependence of absorption and its link to AMS (DeCarlo, Jimenez) organic mass fraction – MIRAGE & IMPEX PRELIMINARY

8 Vertical Profiles April 10, 1999 April 6, 1999 Pollution Dust Subsiding Pollution provides enhanced CNN to stratus clouds and Dust provides soluble iron (limiting nutrient) mixing into MBL NumberMass

9 C. M c Naughton, A. Clarke, V. Kapustin, S. Howell, J. Zhou, Y. Shinozuka University of Hawaii (INTEX-B flights 11-13, DIAL Lidar, E.V. Browell, NASA, LaRC and aerosol vertical profiles), indicate the removal pathway for dust and pollution via subsidence into the marine boundary layer. Understanding mixing, transport, entrainment, cloud condensation nuclei, precipitation scavenging and associated radiative effects are critical to understanding aerosol cycles and impacts and to model paramaterizations of removal flux. WE NEED TO ADDRESS CLOUDS

11 Cloud Related Research Issues Cloud Related Research Issues Indirect effect - CCN and cloud microphysics and cloud radiative properties Warm Cloud Condensation Nuclei – CCN Ice Cloud Ice Nuclei (IN) Contrails Links between CCN and AOD ( PM1?, PM2.5?) Natural vs. Anthropogenic Components Aerosol and Influence on Hydrologic Cycle (Warm Clouds)– Precipitation Formation & Suppression, Amount, Location, absorption and scattering. Dust – Hurricane link etc.?? Are some aerosol fields and clouds coupled? Cloud Scavenging as Sink of Aerosol (model removal term uncertain) in-situ measurements linked to changes in satellite spectral AOD, precipitation, chemistry etc. Cloud Pumping (coupling MBL to FT chemistry) – influence on FT chemistry, key regions, altitudes, transport etc. Cloud Enhanced Chemistry (Aqueous Conversion, Surface Area Effects) ??? Airborne Sampling Issues (which clouds, what measured, new tools) liquid water sampling, droplet sampling (CVI), interstitial aerosol, artifacts

12 Need more new cloud sampling tools

14 Motivation: Simultaneous satellite and airborne aerosol remote sensing in the vicinity of clouds Nikolaeva et al., JQSRT, 2005 GLORYCALIPSOCloudSat Cloud Halo – enhanced aerosol scatter near cloud Cloud edge enhanced radiance

15 1) Aerosol direct effect: use of airborne sensors - support satellite cloud screening (possible cloud contamination) - 3-D effect of clouds on adjacent clear sky retrievals (much more easily done over-ocean; note that this is different from "classic" cloud contamination, by which a pixel contains an un-resolved cloud) - measure the spatial extent and properties of cloud halos - verify TOA and vertically resolved satellite-derived energy "fluxes" - validate Glory to be launched 2008 - check the consistency of AERONET retrievals of aerosol microphysics 2) Aerosol indirect effect: use of airborne sensors - support cloud screening (ensure spatial correspondence of cloudy and clear elements) - below-cloud and cloud-adjacent aerosol/CCN spectra/chemistry - validate satellite cloud properties (no AERONET-like network, therefore airborne validation may be relatively more important)

35 M. Schoeberl Thoughts on Satellites to 2010 Aura should be still flying with OMI aerosol information Aqua will probably still be going with MODIS Terra - not so sure - that would remove MISR CALIPSO will probably be dead Glory with APS will be flying in the A-train Maring: will need science/cal/val missions Cloudsat will probably be working PARASOL will probably be dead or out of the A-train due to lack of fuel. NPP will be up with VIIRS and OMPS nadir - but OMPS aerosol capability is uncertain.
