Project Synopsis
Haze levels should be reduced to the ‘natural conditions’ by 2064.The space, time, composition features of natural aerosols are not knownThis long-term project goal is to better characterize the natural haze conditionsFocus is on detailed analysis of major natural events, e.g. forest fires and windblown dustFASTNET is primarily a tools development project for data access, archiving and analysis This, first year pilot project focuses on demonstrating the feasibility and utility of approach
Seasonal Average Fine Dust Concentration
Origin of Fine Dust Events over the US
Gobi dust in springSahara in summer
Fine dust events over the US are mainly from intercontinental transport
Daily Average Concentration over the US
Dust is seasonal with noise
Random short spikes added
Sulfate is seasonal with noiseNoise is by synoptic weather
