A12E:
Ground-Based Atmospheric Monitoring Networks I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 58358

Session Description:
Ground-based networks for monitoring of atmospheric chemical composition and meteorology improve our understanding of local, regional, and continental scale atmospheric events and long-term trends, and inform decisions critical to air quality, climate change, weather forecasting, and human health. Monitoring networks serve an important role within the research community, providing a backbone of data to support modeling, satellite data product validation, and short-term measurement campaigns. Ongoing collaboration, communication, and promotion of monitoring network developments and data products is necessary in order to fully leverage the benefit from such networks. This session explores how U.S. and international ground-based atmospheric monitoring networks can be utilized to,

(1) promote cross-network and -discipline engagement;

(2) develop and test new technologies and sensors;

(3) expand quality assurance methods and techniques; and

(4) support modelling and satellite data products.
