Summary

Abstract: Annual cycle of the scattering coefficient at 450 nm. The 2009 daily mean is in blue, the 2009 monthly running mean in red and the 1995-2008 running mean in green.

Aerosol monitoring:

The objective of the GAW programme is to determine the spatio-temporal distribution of aerosol properties related to climate forcing and air quality up to multi-decadal time scales. The aerosol programme measured ...
