1 Section 2.3. PACE Science Objectives Aerosols Lead: R. Kahn NASA/GSFC With many contributions from the PACE SDT 14 March 212

2 Section 2.3. PACE Aerosol Science Objectives Aerosol Type and Optical Depth Main Quantities: Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) Aerosol Type -- Aerosol Single-scattering Albedo (SSA) -- Aerosol Size & Shape Near-source Aerosol Plume Height Monitor Extreme Events (Wildfires, Dust outbreaks, High Pollution days, Volcanoes, ) Main Applications: Direct Aerosol Radiative Forcing (DARF) Constraining Climate Models for Aerosol-Cloud Interactions Constraining Regional Air Quality and Aerosol Exposure Models Aerosol Transports Trends Requires: Multi-angle, multi-spectral, polarimetric imager (ACE-class)

3 Section 2.3. PACE Aerosol Science Objectives Aerosol Type and Optical Depth Remote-sensing Analysis Satellites frequent, global snapshots; aerosol amount & aerosol type maps, plume & layer heights Retrieval Validation Assumption Refinement Suborbital Regional Context Aerosol-type Predictions Model Validation Parameterizations Climate Sensitivity Underlying mechanisms targeted chemical & microphysical detail CURRENT STATE Initial Conditions Assimilation point-location time series space-time interpolation, DARF & Anthropogenic Component Kahn, Survy. Geophys., 211 calculation and prediction

4 Section 2.3. PACE Aerosol Science Objectives MODIS/OMI Continuity & Enhancements OES would provide a single-view, multi-spectral, intensity-only imager Could duplicate much of the combined capabilities of MODIS and OMI -- Aerosol Index (AI) over land, water, & some clouds -- AOD over dark water and some land -- Fine/Coarse AOD ratio over dark water -- UV-Absorbing aerosol layer height and SSA constraints -- Complements VIIRS, extends two-aod-instrument (MODIS) record -- Spatial Resolution: higher than OMI, but coarser than MODIS -- Possibly better type & height constraints MODIS or OMI alone Lacks (?) MODIS 1.38 µm & thermal IR channels used for cloud-clearing Not enough aerosol type information to meet ACE requirements Not clear whether the aerosol type information is adequate for PACE Atmospheric Correction

5 Section 2.3. PACE Aerosol Science Objectives Atmospheric Correction SeaWiFS Atmospheric Correction approach -- Obtain AOD and Aerosol Type from Red-NIR bands -- Extrapolate to Blue, UV (for PACE) -- Correlate with surface reflectivity at (MOBY) surface Buoy Will this be adequate for PACE? Ocean Color parameter sensitivity requirements à *Ocean surface reflectivity sensitivity requirements (λ) à TOA reflectivity sensitivity requirements (λ, AOD, type) à Aerosol Type, AOD sensitivity requirements Key Contributors: Ahmad, Chowdhary, Frouin, Kahn, Masse, Wang (more on this in later presentations )

6 Section 2.3. PACE Aerosol Science Objectives MI Enhancements to PACE Aerosol Objectives 3MI is an advanced POLDER -- Wider Spectral Range (388 or 41 µm to SWIR 13 channels, 8 pol.) -- Somewhat higher Spatial Resolution (4 km at nadir) -- Wider Swath (114 field-of-view; 1 14 view angles) Better constraints on Aerosol Type, Over-land Retrievals, Cloud-clearing Better height-ssa constraints in the UV
