| Abstract | Data taken during the 1994 Lidar In-space Technology Experiment (LITE) has been used as a test data set for comparison with a Regional Climate Model which has been modified to include realistic aerosol predictions for sulphates and sea salt. The model, NARCM, underpredicts the light scattering seen by LITE over a large portion of the domain modeled. The reason for the underprediction has obvious causes due to omission of certain important aerosol types, such as organics, black carbon and soil dust. The model is being corrected to include these aerosol types. The results, however, near the source regions are promising enough to infer cases where on-line data assimilative models, coupled to the spaceborne lidar data, can aid interpolation and interpretation of aerosol behavior between successive orbits of a polar orbiting satellite, such as PICASSO-CENA. |
