Bad News: Aerosol Characterization is Challenging
• PM is characterized by many sensors, sampling methods and tools• Each sensor covers only a fraction of the 6-Dim PM data space.• The 6 D data space is extrapolated from sparse measured data• Or deconvoluted from integral measurements
Satellite-Integral
For integral sensors, the integral samples need to be separated into components
Good NewsOnce the aerosol is characterized, opportunities exists for extracting information about the aerosol sources, transformations, etc
from the data directly.

Aerosols are Indicators of Many Earth System Processes Including Human-induced Perturbations
EPA NAAQS PM2.5, O3 Exceptional Event RuleExclusion of data when it is strongly influenced by “exceptional events"
(EE), such as smoke from wildfires or windblown dust or LRTP.

Visibility from Ships, 1938
• Ship observations cataloged in 1938 indicate qualitatively similar pattern to the 1990 AVHRR values

AVHRR satellite optical depth data over the oceans Husar et al, 1997.
• The oceanic aerosol pattern is highly regional and and seasonal• The highest oceanic aerosol optical thickness (AOT, 1989-91) is over the tropical regions• The oceanic AOT around N. America, Europe and E. Asia is small compared to Africa and Asia

Vertical Distribution of Aerosols – Space-borne Lidar
• Long rang transport occurs mostly in elevated layers
• Elevated layers mix with BL air
• Cloud interaction is clearly discernable

Seasonal Average Fine Dust(VIEWS database, 1992-2002)
• Fine soil concentration is highest in the summer over Mississippi Valley, lowest in the winter• In the spring, high concentrations also exists in the arid Southwest (Arizona and Texas)• Evidently, the summer Mississippi Valley peak is Sahara dust while the Spring peak is from local
(and Asian) sources

Origin of Fine Dust Events over the US
Gobi dust in springSahara in summer
Fine dust events over the US are mainly from intercontinental transport

Supporting Evidence: Transport Analysis
Satellite data (e.g. SeaWiFS) show Sahara Dust reaching Gulf of Mexico and
entering the continent.
The air masses arrive to Big Bend, TX form the east (July) and from the west
(April)

Asian Dust Cloud over N. America
On April 27, the dust cloud arrived in North America.
Regional average PM10 concentrations increased to 65 g/m3
In Washington State, PM10 concentrations exceeded 100 g/m3
Asian Dust 100 g/m3
Hourly PM10

~50% of the variability in springtime PM2.5 in the Western U.S. can be explained by changes in Asian dust (Fischer et al., 2008)
