  1. The 7 South East Asian Studies (7-SEAS)Summary March 2009 Malaysian Meteorology Service Send comment to: jeffrey.reid@nrlmry.navy.mil/ 1 (831) 656-4725 http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/aerosol/ http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/flambe/

  2. Rationale for Research in Southeast Asia: The aerosol-cloud observability problem SE Asia has strong gradients in air pollution. But, persistent cirrus, low level clouds coupled with shallow water make SE Asia one of the most difficult places on the planet to model or utilize satellite data What is the nature of air pollution and smoke on broad environmental, meteorological, and climate impacts? Co-linear aspects with GPM, ACE and Geo-CAPE

  3. UP CloseNotice relationships between land cover, smoke and clouds Borneo Indonesian Smoke Plume

  4. Global Air Pollution Satellite Studies: Little SE ASIA involvement • SE Asia has never had a large cal/val effort of satellite measurements of atmospheric composition. • SE Asia is a good location for developing aerosol and ocean retrieval methods for use in satellites as well as study the observability problem. • Regional scientists are mostly unengaged in mainstream science. ? Major NASA Composition Satellite Development or Cal/Val Mission MISR

  5. Seven South East Asian Studies (7 SEAS) • Goal: Differentiate aerosol particles impacts on weather, climate and the environment at micro, meso and long-wave scales? • Tropical and subtropical meteorology including air-sea and land interaction • Clouds and precipitation • Radiative transfer • Biomass burning and pollution • Natural aerosol chemistry • System observability: Rem. sens., in situ, model • System predictability: Forecasting and climate change • How do these processes feedback into atmospheric composition? Need long term monitoring of ground and satellite to feed the models. Participate in PAC3E as a majorIOP Taiwan Vietnam Philippines Thailand Malaysia Singapore Indonesia
