Resumen
Descripción
Aerosols play an important role in global climate change.[Reference new IPCC report]. These particles directly affect the radiative budget due to absorption and scattering of radiation. Additionally, aerosols are known to alter various ecosystems, cloud formation and properties, precipitation, air quality and visibility. They also have well-documented impacts on human health.
In the last 30 years, progress has been made in remote sensing retrievals of aerosol distribution and properties, using different satellite sensors as well as ground-based sun photometer instruments, monitoring programs, and intensive field campaigns around the world. This paper describes how the study and analysis of satellite-based (CALIPSO) measurements and the Global Ozone Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model make it possible to identify some of the predominant tropospheric aerosols, black carbon and organic carbon. We present the black carbon and organic carbon aerosols and their optical properties by season, within the region of Jalisco México.
