GMAO staff, in collaboration with the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch at NASA/GSFC, conducted simulations of aerosol distributions in the atmosphere using the [http://geos5.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEOS-5_System_Overview GEOS-5] modeling and data assimilation system coupled with the GOCART aerosol module. Realistic transport of simulated aerosols was achieved by ingesting [http://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/merra/ Modern Era Retrospective-analysis for Research and Applications] (MERRA) meteorological fields (referred to as 'replay' technique). | GMAO staff, in collaboration with the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch at NASA/GSFC, conducted simulations of aerosol distributions in the atmosphere using the [http://geos5.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEOS-5_System_Overview GEOS-5] modeling and data assimilation system coupled with the GOCART aerosol module.
