EaSM Project: Aerosol-Cloud-Earth Feedbacks
The following animations are from a climate run forced by climatological sea surface temperature. All animations are for the area over North America with a focus of the model output around the United States. They cover the area from a latitude of 130 degrees west to 60 degrees west and a longitude of 15 degrees north to 75 degrees north. The observations were made from June 1 to June 11, with one sample taken every 30 minutes throughout those days.
Aerosol Absorption and Optical Depth

The links below are for animations of aerosol optical depth measurements at 550nm using 3 different modes:
Mode 1- Accumulation Mode
Mode 2- Aitken Mode
Mode 3- Coarse Mode
