General overview: European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) - integrating aerosol research from nano to global scales
Abstract. In this paper we describe and summarize the main
achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and
Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI
started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010
leaving a rich legacy including: (a) a comprehensive database
with a year of observations of the physical, chemical and
optical properties of aerosol particles over Europe, (b) comprehensive
aerosol measurements in four developing countries,
(c) a database of airborne measurements of aerosols
and clouds over Europe during May 2008, (d) comprehensive
modeling tools to study aerosol processes fron nano to
global scale and their effects on climate and air quality. In
addition a new Pan-European aerosol emissions inventory
was developed and evaluated, a new cluster spectrometer was
built and tested in the field and several new aerosol parameterizations
and computations modules for chemical transport
and global climate models were developed and evaluated.
These achievements and related studies have substantially
improved our understanding and reduced the uncertainties
of aerosol radiative forcing and air quality-climate interactions.
The EUCAARI results can be utilized in European
and global environmental policy to assess the aerosol impacts
and the corresponding abatement strategies.
