ESA GlobAerosol Project Global Aerosol from Satellite Measurements
Objectives: • To satisfy users’ requirements for global aerosol information from satellite data. • Users: • 1. ECMWF, MeteoFrance, MPI-Met • NWP and aerosol modelling • 2. EMEP (NILU) • Transboundary pollution monitoring • 3. Environment Agencies: VMM, LUA/NRW, ARPA, HME • Air quality and human health
Tasks: • Development of a satellite data processing system to generate a standard reference multi-year global aerosol product (GAP) over land and water. • Production of the GAP covering 1995–2007 • Validation of the GAP using independent ground-based measurements. • Intercomparison of the GAP with other satellite-based aerosol data sets. • Exploitation of the satellite aerosol data set in the context of atmospheric models
