7 Arctic Summer Cloud-Ocean Study 2008 The main goal of ASCOS is to gain a better understanding of important climate processes in the Arctic, to improve future climate models with a particular emphasis on the summertime clouds.

8 Start: 1 Jan 2007 (4 years) 48 European Partners from 25 countries: Coordination: University of Helsinki, Finnish Meteorological Institute Objectives: 1) Reduction of the current uncertainty of the impact of aerosol particles on climate by 50% and quantification of the relationship between anthropogenic aerosol particles and regional air quality. 2) Quantification of the side effects of European air quality directives on global and regional climate, and provide tools for future quantifications for different stakeholders. EUCAARI European Integrated Project on Aerosol - Climate - Air Quality Interactions

9 European Super-sites for Atmospheric Aerosol Research An EU-Infrastructure Project 21 European Partners Objectives 1: Ensure measurements and QA/QC of aerosol chemical, optical and physical properties 2: Ensure dissemination of data and capacity building 3: Develop future tools for aerosol monitoring and dissemination of information 4: Ensure trans-national access of research infrastructures
