MULTI-SENSOR RETRIEVAL OF AEROSOL OPTICAL PROPERTIES FOR NEAR-REAL-TIME APPLICATIONS USING THE METOP SERIES OF SATELLITES: CONCEPT, DETAILED DESCRIPTION, AND FIRST VALIDATION

The Polar Multi-Sensor Aerosol product (PMAp) is based on the synergistic use of three instruments from the Metop platform, GOME-2, AVHRR, and IASI.The retrieval algorithm includes three major steps: a pre-identification of the aerosol class, a selection of the doughlish aerosol model, and a calculation of the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD).This paper

Simulation results of global aerosol models have been assembled in the framework of the AeroCom intercomparison exercise.In this paper, we analyze the life cycles of dust, sea salt, sulfate, black carbon and particulate organic matter as simulated by sixteen global aerosol models.The differences among the results (model diversities) for sources and

Abstract Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) has been cultivated for around 9,000 fr6122 years and is therefore one of the oldest cultivated species.Today, flax is still grown for its oil (oil-flax or linseed cultivars) and its cellulose-rich fibres (fibre-flax cultivars) used for high-value linen garments and composite materials.Despite the w
