Haze Protocols for the GLOBE Program: A Model Student Scientist Partnership

9801806布鲁克斯响应全球学习和观察造福环境方案(GLOBE)的宣布该项目旨在实现GOBLE的目标和目标，即将科学家和学童连接到一个全球信息网络中，最终目的是更好地了解地球环境和在地球上发生的变化。这项提议将制定新的协议，并利用全球数据进行科学研究。该项目将开发一种测量大气气溶胶光学厚度(AOT)的新协议，并以廉价的手持太阳光度计和/或天空色卡为基础。AOT的测量将向学生介绍空气污染、沙尘暴和森林火灾等自然事件以及地表日照变化之间的联系。更高级的学生可以使用的数据是研究比耳定律的辐射传输。这些测量将增强来自极其稀疏的地面AOT观测网络的数据。减少全球气溶胶辐射传输效应的不确定性S目前是气候研究界的最高科学优先事项之一。当地和全球环境状况受到大气灰霾层存在的影响。能见度本身就是环境质量的一个重要参数，雾霾层影响地球表面的辐射传输平衡，并影响光学遥感测量，而光学遥感测量是研究全球环境变化的主要信息来源。学生们将对雾霾层的研究做出定量的测量。%为响应全球学习和观察造福环境项目(GLOBE)的宣布，该项目旨在实现GLOBE的目标和目标，即在全球信息网络中将科学家和学童联系起来，最终目的是更好地了解地球环境和发生在地球上的变化。这项提议将制定新的协议，并利用全球数据进行科学研究。该项目将开发一种测量大气气溶胶光学厚度(AOT)的新协议，并以廉价的手持太阳光度计和/或天空色卡为基础。AOT的测量将向学生介绍空气污染、沙尘暴和森林火灾等自然事件以及地表日照变化之间的联系。更高级的学生可以使用的数据是研究比耳定律的辐射传输。这些测量将增强来自极其稀疏的地面AOT观测网络的数据。减少全球气溶胶辐射传输效应的不确定性S目前是气候研究界的最高科学优先事项之一。当地和全球环境状况受到大气灰霾层存在的影响。能见度本身就是环境质量的一个重要参数，雾霾层影响地球表面的辐射传输平衡，并影响光学遥感测量，而光学遥感测量是研究全球环境变化的主要信息来源。学生们将对雾霾层的研究做出定量的测量。***

9801806 Brooks In response to an Announcement of Opportunity for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment Program (GLOBE) this project is designed to meet GLOBE goals and objectives of linking scientists and schoolchildren in a global information network with the ultimate goal of better understanding Earth's environment and changes that take place within it. This proposal will development new protocols, and conduct scientific research with GLOBE data. The project will develop a new protocol for the measurement of Atmospheric Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT), and is based on an inexpensive hand-held sun photometer, and/or sky-color cards. Measurements of AOT will introduce students to the connections between air pollution, natural events such as dust storms and forest fires, and variations in surface insolation. More advanced students can use the data is studies of Beer's law for radiative transfer. These measurements will enhance data from extremely sparse networks of ground-based AOT observations. Reducing the uncertainties in the global radiative transfer effects of the aerosols s currently one of the highest scientific priorities of the climate studies community. Local and global environmental conditions are affected by the presence of atmospheric haze layers. Visibility is a major parameter in environmental quality in its own right and haze layers affect the surface radiative transfer balance of Earth as well as influencing optical remote sensing measurements which are a major source on information for study of global environmental change. Students will be contributing quantitative measurements to the study of haze layers. %%% In response to an Announcement of Opportunity for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment Program (GLOBE) this project is designed to meet GLOBE goals and objectives of linking scientists and schoolchildren in a global information network with the ultimate goal of better understa nding Earth's environment and changes that take place within it.
