GADS programs online: Global Distribution
of aerosol microphysical properties
To obtain the global distribution of an averaged
aerosol parameter of interest from this list:
check the season check box (summer or winter),
check the check box corresponding to a parameter of interest and press
the Submit button.
The program outputs the results in a text file which should
be saved on the user host using the standard dialog box "Save" of the web
browser. The output data on the aerosol microphysical properties have a
unique format: a header and rows with the following 3 values:
latitude of a grid point (in degree) in column 1,
longitude of a grid point (in degree) in column 2,
depending on a selected parameter: number density in particles cm-3
or
in microgram m-3, aerosol type or aerosol profile type for this
grid point in column 3.
The detailed description of aerosol parameters which
can be extracted from this page are given in Koepke et al., 1997 or here.
