1 Relating Aerosol Profile and Column Measurements to Surface Concentrations: What Have We Learned from Discover-AQ? Raymond Hoff University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)

Near-surface pollution is one of the most challenging problems for Earth observations from space… Investigation Rationale

α0α0 PM 2.5 RH PM is well mixed; extinction (α) varies with RH and height; clouds at LCL αdαd PM 2.5 = AOD / [f(RH)  SEC  PBLH] WRF-CHEM? 2009 Paradigm Hoff and Christopher (2009)

DISCOVER-AQ Locations 4 California 2013 Colorado 2014 Houston 2013 Balt.-Wash 2011 Aerosol problems are quite different

A simple model using PM 2.5 and hygroscopicity measurements can reproduce AOD in a well-mixed BL (red dots) Deviates for lofted layers (blue dots) Crumeyrolle et al., ACP 2014 In Situ (LARGE) AOD-to-PM in Maryland In-situ aerosol hygroscopicity model (gamma) yields consistent ambient extinction profiles compared to remote-sensing results from HSRL Water contributed up to 43% to AOD in the region Ziemba et al., GRL 2013

2013 Hoff AGU Paper WRF-CHEM underestimates AOD on average Midday PBLH is ok but PBL AOD is underestimated – RH accuracy is an issue - growth model wrong? – insufficient secondary aerosol? 6

Baltimore-Washington 7 Eck et al, 2014 Schafer et al. 2013

More than Koren’s “Silver Lining” 8

It is not just RH or f(RH) Particle number also increases as you approach cloud base from below Eck suggests that there is new particle formation below cloud base, perhaps organic in nature Work is consistent with Hennigan’s earlier surface work showing SOA formation is RH dependent and SOA processing occurs in the vicinity of clouds 9

Maryland: Aerosol composed primarily of organics and ammonium sulfate Hygroscopicity driven by organic mass contribution Consistent vertical distribution of aerosols with haze layer heights of ~ 7000 ft (2km) In Situ AOD-to-PM in Maryland & California AOD-to-PM based on in situ measurements of extinction and composition from a particle-into-liquid sampler (PILS) California: Aerosol composed primarily of ammonium nitrate in a very shallow BL (~2000 ft or 600 m) Deeper boundary layer on February 4 & 6 Hygroscopicity ( ɣ )

California: More than PBLH 11 Measured f(RH) shows MD > CA > CO Orozco et al. Wed. Poster A31C-3043 MD CA CO

Texas: Variable aerosol vertical distributions largely due to the presence of aged smoke plumes transported from agricultural fires HSRL measurements of the smoke are analyzed by Sharon Burton (presentation later in this session) Smoke was aged in comparison to fresh agricultural smoke (Beyersdorf poster A53A-3187, Friday) Everything is LARGE in Texas

Colorado (Hennigan et al., 2015) 13 B ext = 3 f(RH) (SO 4 +NO 3 ) + 4 f(RH) OC +1 Soil(Ca) +10 EC

Colorado (Hennigan et al., 2015) 14

Take Away Message You can teach old dogs new tricks Humidity is important to AOD – PM2.5 but it is only part of the problem The silver lining around clouds is wide Organic aerosols do take up water and may be formed with an RH dependence – SOA…. We still are some way off from having a forecast model fix the AOD/PM2.5 relationship but the data exists from DISCOVER-AQ to better define the unknowns. 15
