Large-Scale Aerosol Modeling and Analysis
Abstract
The long-term goal of this research is to develop a practical predictive capability for visibility and weather effects of aerosol particles for the entire globe for timely use in planning and executing DoD operations and activities. The fundamental predicted variables are the concentrations of atmospheric aerosol particles responsible for degradation of EO propagation in regions of DoD interest. Post-processors calculate the optical parameters useful in strategic and tactical planning, training, and operational activities. This forecast and simulation capability also is used in theoretical studies of the Earth's atmosphere and has operational usefulness in scientific field campaigns.
