After the core results have been assembled and published, the aim is to focus on the modeled vertical aerosol distributions.

Brigitte Koffi (bkoffi) brigitte.koffi@lsce.ipsl.fr, Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement, France Sep 2011, The AeroCom database has been used to evaluate the vertical distribution of aerosols in 12 AeroCom I models using the CALIOP Aerosol Layer product. The methodology developped in this study will be adapted and integrated into the AeroCom evaluation tool, and applied to the evaluation of the AeroCom phase II simulations. Assess the impact of the models improvements, and further examine the models’ uncertainties and the potential limitations of the CALIOP data. For this purpose, a global monthly gridded (1°x1°) database is currently being built that will be also part of the AeroCom database. Koffi B. et al.

Cynthia Randles (crandles) Cynthia.A.Randles.1@gsfc.nasa.gov , NASA Goddard, USA Sep 2011, Analysis of AeroCom Radiative Transfer Experiment. The goal of the AeroCom Radiative Transfer Code Experiment is to assess the solar radiative transfer schemes in AeroCom global models without aerosols or clouds given a prescribed surface albedo and standard atmospheres (AGFL tropical and sub arctic winter O3 and water vapor profiles). This allows us to understand how each model treats Raleigh scattering, ozone absorption, and water vapor absorption. We also now include a clear-sky case with simplified aerosol optical properties (once scattering and once more absorbing) uniformly distributed in the lowest 2 km of the model.
