Atmospheric Radiation Measurement



ARM Aerosol IOP
May 2003
ARM Southern Great Plains Site, Oklahoma




 



Background:




  
Aerosol influences on shortwave radiation are substantial locally
  and globally and must thus be accurately represented in radiation transfer
  models and climate models.To gain improved understanding and model-based
  representation of aerosol radiative influences an IOP (Intensive Observational
  Period) is planned to be conducted at the Department of Energy's Atmospheric
  Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains Site in north central
  Oklahoma, in May 2003. The planned IOP will carry out a variety of closure
  experiments on aerosol optical properties and their radiative influence.
  Additionally, planned measurements of the aerosol chemical composition
  size distribution, to be conducted by investigators in the DOE Atmospheric
  Chemistry Program and Tropospheric Aerosol Program, will allow testing
  of the ability to reconstruct optical properties from these measurements.
  Additional effort will be directed toward measurement of cloud condensation
  nucleus concentration as a function of supersaturation and relating to
  aerosol composition and size distribution. This relation is central to
  description of the aerosol indirect effect.
