Aerosol Comparisons between Observations and Models

The AeroCom-project (https://aerocom.met.no/) is an open international initiative of scientists interested in the advancement of the understanding of the global aerosol and its impact on climate. A large number of observations (including MODIS, POLDER, MISR, AVHHR, SEAWIFS, TOMS, AERONET, surface concentrations and other observations of relevance) and results from more than 20 global models have been assembled to document and compare state of the art modeling of the global aerosol. A common protocol has been established and models are asked to participate in the AeroCom experiments. Results are documented via interactive websites which give access to 2D fields and standard comparisons to observations. Regular workshops are held to discuss findings, joint publications and future directions.

AeroCom项目（https://aerocom.met.no/）是一项开放的国际科学倡议，旨在推进全球气溶胶及其对气候影响的认知。该项目汇聚了大量观测数据（包括MODIS、POLDER、MISR、AVHHR、SEAWIFS、TOMS、AERONET、地表浓度及其他相关观测）以及超过20个全球模型的成果，以记录并比较全球气溶胶建模的最新进展。已建立一套通用协议，并邀请模型参与AeroCom实验。结果通过交互式网站进行记录，该网站提供二维场数据和对观测数据的标准化比较。定期举办研讨会，旨在讨论研究结果、联合发表和未来发展方向。
