Zusammenfassung |
The Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN) has been collecting data over the oceans
since November 2006. Over 80 cruises were completed through early 2010 with
deployments continuing. Measurement areas included various parts of the
Atlantic Ocean, the Northern and Southern Pacific Ocean, the South Indian
Ocean, the Southern Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and inland seas. MAN deploys
Microtops hand-held sunphotometers and utilizes a calibration procedure and
data processing traceable to AERONET. Data collection included areas that
previously had no aerosol optical depth (AOD) coverage at all, particularly
vast areas of the Southern Ocean. The MAN data archive provides a valuable
resource for aerosol studies in maritime environments. In the current paper
we present results of AOD measurements over the oceans, and make a
comparison with satellite AOD retrievals and model simulations. |
