C.I.T.E.S.-2.0.0.5 project focuses on atmosphere aerosols in Siberia, evaluating their impact on air quality, ecosystems, and environmental processes. The project involves monitoring, analysis, modeling, and data acquisition with a web-based system for knowledge management. Key components include a distributed structure, semantically rich metadata support, and a user-friendly interface. Additionally, the project features the "Atmospheric Aerosols of Siberia" Atlas, providing valuable data processing and visualization tools. Data sources cover aerosol parameters like mass concentration, chemical composition, and particle size spectrum. The project employs advanced methods like Tikhonov regularization for data processing and space photo analysis to determine solar energy absorption.

Prerequisites • Since 1991 specialists from various SB RAS institutions are regularly performing atmosphere characteristics measurements. Institutions involved belong to Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk scientific centers: ICG, INC, LIN, IVEP, etc. Monitoring covers the territory of Western and Eastern Siberia, Altai and Krasnoyarsk regions • It was acknowledged that storage, processing and publishing so large volume of data is impossible without employing contemporary high-end information technologies • In view of growing global Internet infrastructure, ICT SB RAS with ICG SB RAS designs the distributed highly-available Web-enabled data&knowledge management system C I T E S - 2 0 0 5

Data processing model Reconstructing original value from experimental results is always reduced to inverse problem solution. Otherwise apparatus functions are approximated by stages, rectangles and other non-physical functions whose first derivative is δ-function. Regularization method is one of the simplest and most well understandable method for inverse problem solution to reconstruct size spectrum from data acquired by various atmospheric aerosol characteristics measurements C I T E S - 2 0 0 5

Space photos processing System of collecting, storage and preprocessing of satellite data allows processing of data acquired over large territory (Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Altai, Krasnoyarks regions) We used this data to extract values of one-time surface diffusion albedo. It allows to determine the amount of solar energy received by Earth surface, thus the surface layer air temperature C I T E S - 2 0 0 5
