  1. Anthropogenic Emission Trend Drivers, 1850-1990Global Visibility (Smoke??) Trends Rudolf Husar, CAPITA Washington University GISS Carbonaceous Aerosol Trends Workshop November 24, 2003, NYC

  2. Atmospheric Environment 33 (1999) 3435-3444Estimating Historical Anthropogenic Global Sulfur Emission Patterns for the Period 1850-1990[1]Allen S. Lefohna,, Janja D. Husarb, Rudolf B. Husarb

  3. Global S Emission Trend, 1850-1990

  4. Visibility-Population Density ComparisonIn India bext and population density compare well

  5. AVHRR satellite optical depth data over the oceans, 1988-90

  6. MODIS AOT, 2002 MODIS Team ATSR Fire Locations 1993 Features of Global Smoke Emissions

  7. MISR Seasonal AOT (MISR Team) Major smoke emission regions by season

  8. Continental Visibility data • Surface visual range observations. • Over 8000 stations' throughout the six continents. • The on line data files from NCDC • Explored: January, 1994 through October 1997. • 1997- data available

  22. Conclusions? • Global fossil fuel consumption trends data are available • Require historical emission factors for carbonatious aerosols • Satellite data provide spatial/seasonal pattern • Limited trends information over cloud-free areas • No aerosol speciation • No info on vertical distribution • Visibility data provide 30-40-year record • Surface concentration over continental areas only • No speciation • Semi quantitative
