Technical Narrative This U.S.-Nigerian collaborative research project involving the University of Maryland and the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria is in the general area of climatology of atmospheric conditions. Project funding will enable the co-investigator from the University of Ilorin to work for three months time in the laboratory of Dr. Rachel Pinker at the University of Maryland. The collaborative research will analyze data used to derive information on the seasonal variation of sub-Saharan aerosol optical depths. Additionally, the co-investigator will visit the NOAA Environmental Research Laboratories in Boulder, Colorado in order to become acquainted with the World Climate Research Program plans to establish global baseline radiation networks for monitoring global climate change, and for validating satellite retrieval methods. This project in aerosol climatology fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Nigeria to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.

这个美国-尼日利亚合作研究项目涉及马里兰大学和尼日利亚伊洛林的伊洛林大学，是大气条件气候学的一般领域。项目资金将使伊洛林大学的合作研究者能够在马里兰大学瑞秋·平克博士的实验室工作三个月。这项合作研究将分析用于获取撒哈拉以南气溶胶光学深度季节性变化信息的数据。此外，共同调查员将访问位于科罗拉多州博尔德的NOAA环境研究实验室，以了解世界气候研究计划的计划，该计划旨在建立全球基线辐射网络，以监测全球气候变化。以及验证卫星检索方法。这个气溶胶气候学项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和尼日利亚的顶尖专家能够在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源。
