AOD / PM2.5 Challenges AOD assimilation
constrains column mass as long as mass extinction
efficiency is OK Accurate PM2.5
determination still depends on Speciation Vertical structure
Joint AOD & PM2.5 assimilation requires unbiased observing system

Status Report While MERRAero produces AOD that is
unbiased w.r.t. AERONET, its surface PM2.5 concentrations have a low bias. erroneous PBL height, missing species, mass
extinction efficiencies are likely causes Joint assimilation of AOD/PM2.5
assimilation cannot proceed until this observation bias issue can be resolved. or else spurious time variability will arise
