  1. ARM May 2003 Aerosol IOP • Mission Objectives • (based on Schmid/Pilewskie/Strawa/Russell/Redemann/Bergstrom • ARM ST proposal plus possible add-ons) • Vertically resolved aerosol optical properties over the ARM SGP site • Motivation: unrealistic SSA, no closure IAP, BBHR VAP • Extinction closure • Absorption closure • Ad-ons • Satellite validation • Spatial variability

  2. DOE/ARM May 2003 Aerosol IOP CIRPAS Twin Otter Aerosol: number, size distr., hygroscopicity scattering, absorption (PSAP, photo-acoustic, CRD) Cloud: liquid water, CCN, size distr. Radiation: solar and IR up and downwellingbroadband and spectral. Aerosol Optical Depth, H2O In-situ Aerosol Profiles at SGP Groundbased: same + lidars+…

  3. Extinction closure • "Can in situ measurements of aerosol properties account for the solar beam attenuation (extinction) by an aerosol layer or column?" • “How about lidars or satellites?” • Measuring solar beam attenuation by an AATS on the same aircraft as in situ sensors allows an exact match in the aerosol layers described by the attenuation and in situ measurements. • Such comparisons have revealed important insights about aerosol sampling and inadvertent modification in such previous experiments as TARFOX, ACE-2, SAFARI, ACE-Asia, CLAMS …

  4. Extinction closure • AATS-14 • CW-CRD • Neph+PSAP (or Photoacoustic) • From Size Distr. and Comp. (TDMA, PCASP, CAPS, FSSP, APS) • Lidars (CARL, MPL, …) • IAP

  5. Extinction closure between AATS-14 and Neph+PSAP for 14 profiles

  6. Layer AOD Closure in SAFARI-200015 vertical profiles, from Magi et al., subm. JGR 2002

  7. How well did past campaigns do on AATS vs Neph+PSAP comparisons?
