Aerosol Daytime Variations over North and South America as Derived from Multiyear AERONET Measurements Yan Zhang 1, Hongbin Yu 2, Alexander Smirnov 1, Tom Eck 1, Mian Chin 3, Lorraine Remer 3, Qian Tan 1, Robert Levy 4 1 GESTAR/USRA, 2 ESSIC, 3 NASA/GSFC, 4 SSAI May 12, 2011

2 Important for studies of – climate forcing – air quality – satellite data validation Relatively under-explored over large regions – polar orbiting satellites have no capability (one daytime visit) – geo satellites have large uncertainties Our objective: – document aerosol daytime variations in GEO-CAPE viewing areas with high quality, multi-year measurements from AERONET – give suggestions to GEO-CAPE requirements aspect with aerosol s Aerosol can have a large daytime variation

AERONET Data Processing Instantaneous measurements from 54 AERONET sites (after 1997) with more than two year active measurement period. *100% We use departure (percentage) from daily mean instead of absolute value to present aerosol day time variation

4 Northeastern US (JJA) West Coast US (JJA) US: Northeast and West Coast (pollution aerosols) show opposite AOD daytime variations Northeast: Increasing AOD over a day likely associated with strong afternoon photochemical activity West Coast: AOD maximum in morning, decreases during day - associated with mesoscale circulations

5 Rapid morning increase of AOD due to local emission. Small afternoon AOD change due to basin ventilation by terrain-induced wind. AE shows 15%~25% changes; noontime peaks could be related to strong photochemistry that produces small particles. AOD AE

6 Abracos Hill: AOD increases during day; late afternoon maximum consistent with observed peak fire activities Alta Floresta: AOD has morning maximum, decreases during day Abracos Hill Alta Floresta Two forest sites in South America (smoke aerosols) with differing AOD daytime variations Abracos Hill Alta Floresta

7 Lanai Large AE variation could result from: 1) large uncertainties in low AOD regime; 2) photochemistry produces fine-mode sulfate aerosol at the noon. Lanai Island (Marine aerosols), Hawaii: AOD increases during day presumably associated with sea breeze AOD AE

8 (AOD) (AE) Northeast US has large AOD (> 0.3) and AE (> 1.6), but small DVRs West Coast US shows small AOD (<0.3) and AE (0.8~1.2), but AE DVR are large Middle US has small AOD & DVR South America shows large AOD (> 0.3) over Amazon region AOD and AE variations show wide range depending on location and/or season

9 Conclusions There are a wide range of AOD and AE variations depending on location and/or season AOD changes could be increasing or decreasing, but they are non-linear. To capture observed AOD variations we see, at least three successful aerosol retrievals from geo satellites are needed (morning, noon, and afternoon). Both comprehensive datasets and regional simulations are needed to better understand the observed complex daytime variations. In particular, simultaneous measurements of aerosol and precursors from GEO-CAPE would provide better insight
