Analysis of the RED Aerosol Data Set by the NRL Aerosol Model Driven by COAMPS

Abstract

Identify, understand and quantify all the physical processes that govern the aerosols in the marine environment and develop a mechanistic model that predicts the evolution of the aerosol size and composition distribution. From such a model aerosol extinction of EM radiation can be calculated in a highly structured atmospheric marine boundary layer (AMBL) and used to evaluate and predict the performance of systems that operate at visible and infrared wavelengths.
