Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE)-Asia Surface Network Implementation, Operations, and Coordination

本项目支持在亚洲气溶胶表征实验（ACE-Asia）期间协调地面测量。特别是，PI将：(1)促进和协调美国调查人员在韩国群山的ACE-亚洲超级基地的活动；(2)尽可能协调和标准化所有观测站的气溶胶成分和质量的测量；(3)协助保证数据质量和建立网络的数据档案；(4)制定和实施气溶胶化学表征的采样器和分析方法的相互比较计划。改进采样器将可用于与其他类型的采样器进行比较。地面站网络的科学目标是描述东亚和西太平洋近地面空气中关键气溶胶特性的时空变化特征。亚洲科学家负责选址、操作和分析收集到的样本。

This project supports the coordination of ground-based measurements during ACE-Asia (Aerosol Characterization Experiment). In particular, the PI will: (1) facilitate and coordinate the activities of the US investigators at the ACE- Asia Supersite at Kosan, Korea; (2) to coordinate and standardize - to the extent possible - measurements of aerosol composition and mass at all network sites; (3) to assist in assuring data quality and developing a data archive for the network, and (4) to develop and implement plans for intercomparing samplers and analytical methods for the aerosol chemical characterizations. IMPROVE samplers will be mad available for comparisons against other types of samplers. The scientific objective of the ground station network is to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of key aerosol properties in near surface air over eastern Asia and the western Pacific. Asian scientists are responsible for site selection, site operations, and analyzing the samples collected.
