Friends of MIRA,

Two things:

+ The next Morphing MIRA webinar is in ~12 hours at 2 GMT (click here to participate<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/t-59584e83/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fteams.microsoft.com%2Fl%2Fmeetup-join%2F19%253ameeting_YmExOThlMmQtMzc4YS00MWJmLWE0MWEtODZiZjUwZDVhZmE4%2540thread.v2%2F0%3Fcontext%3D%257b%2522Tid%2522%253a%25227005d458-45be-48ae-8140-d43da96dd17b%2522%252c%2522Oid%2522%253a%2522408095f5-ff81-4889-a108-9cd9cd752d5c%2522%257d&data=05%7C01%7Cmira%40espo.nasa.gov%7C27d2674924b84006fb1d08db815117d8%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638245957553230685%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=W4WCvl9b1hSmz76WE3IwEqdECgrwROx0l313ZfzVWQU%3D&reserved=0> when the time comes). This time slot is Asia-friendly, but difficult for the Americas and Europe. As usual, the webinar will be recorded and posted to https://science-data.larc.nasa.gov/MIRA-WG/Morphing-MIRA-Webinar-Series/ (eventually). Dr. Soojin Park will present the material shown in the abstract below.
+ I added a few AGU sessions to the list that I provided on June 30 (follows webinar abstract). If your session is missing and you would like it advertised ~weekly through this news list, please send it to me and I will include it in the next round.

Thanks,
Greg

Webinar Abstract

Boundary-layer aerosols observed in a polluted megacity (Seoul, Korea) from multiple lidar measurements: Implications on particulate matter (PM) simulations

The mixing layer height (MLH) is often defined as the height up to which turbulent mixing creates an environment favorable for the redistribution of temperature, mass, and humidity. The MLH has been widely investigated to understand its implications on the vertical distribution of pollutants, especially in regions suffering from high pollution levels. Ground-based remote sensing techniques have been commonly used to retrieve MLH since they can probe atmospheric characteristics at dense temporal resolutions. In this study, we estimateMLH from co-located elastic aerosol lidar, ceilometer, and wind Doppler lidar (WDL) measurements obtained in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and inter-compare the results to discuss the advantages and limitations of each method. Secondly, MLH from elastic aerosol lidar and WDL are compared with atmospheric chemistry transport model simulations to evaluate the accuracy of the MLH simulation in the model and discuss how model-estimated MLH affects surface PM concentration simulation results. For two case studies during the KORUS-AQ campaign of 12 and 18 May 2016, implicating full mixing within the MLH defined by aerosol lidar measurements on WRF-Chem PM2.5 vertical distribution simulations was shown to significantly reduce model PM2.5 simulation errors from mean normalized bias (MNB) of 52% to 19%.
Furthermore, aerosol-type specific lidar ratio and mass extinction efficiency (MEE) values are determined from the two-year measurements of the University of Wisconsin-Madison High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) deployed in Seoul (2016-2018). Implications of the use of type-specific lidar ratios and MEE are examined in calculating extinction coefficient calculations from Mie-scattering lidar measurements and estimating PM10 profiles from lidar observations.

MIRA (Models, In situ, and Remote sensing of Aerosols) is an international forum for exchanging ideas amongst three specialties of aerosol research, and the purpose of MIRA is to facilitate worldwide collaborations amongst these specialties. Indeed, many of us are already working across multiple aerosol disciplines, and our work would benefit from additional access to unfamiliar datasets and the expertise that is required to build and understand those datasets.
Presently, MIRA assists collaborations through four topical areas: Satellite-Assisted Particulate Matter (SAPM), Maps of Aerosol lidar ratios for CALIPSO (MAC), Tables of Aerosol Optics (TAO), and Harmonization of aerosol Assimilation Models and Retrievals (HAMR). However, MIRA is not limited to these topics, and we seek abstracts in all areas of study where the aerosol specialties overlap.
We seek presentations that showcase interdisciplinary work and scientists who are interested in the MIRA concept. More information about MIRA can be found at https://science.larc.nasa.gov/mira-wg/.

Fine Particulate Matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, also known as PM2.5, is a significant potential danger to human health and an environmental issue of worldwide increasing concern.  In the past 20 years, the U.S. has seen significant improvements in air quality, however recent studies suggest that these gains might be lost as emissions from landscape fires become the dominant component of PM2.5 in certain regions, offsetting the decrease in anthropogenic emissions. Furthermore, people living in low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately burdened with the mortality associated with PM2.5 exceedances.  In this session, we welcome presentations that aim at characterizing PM2.5, including speciation and attribution, using various approaches developed over the past two decades, which involve models (e.g., MERRA-2, NAAPS, GEOS-Chem), ground-based or airborne in situ measurements (e.g., DISCOVER-AQ, KORUS-AQ, TRACER-AQ) and/or ground-based, airborne and current/future spaceborne passive and/or active remote sensing (e.g., GOES, MAIA, PACE, EarthCARE, AOS).

The NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission, launching in early 2024, will extend heritage ocean color, cloud, and aerosol data records and enable insight into oceanographic and atmospheric responses to Earth's climate. PACE’s primary instrument is a hyperspectral spectrometer spanning the ultraviolet to near-infrared region with additional shortwave infrared bands. It is complemented by two multi-angle hyperspectral and hyper-angular polarimeters for improved aerosol and hydrosol characterization, opportunities for novel ocean color atmospheric correction, and unique space-borne cloud observations.

This session welcomes contributions that highlight remote sensing techniques and products that leverage the type of hyperspectral and/or multi-angle polarimetric observations provided by PACE, and showcase scientific and practical applications including decision support and resource management. Abstracts showcasing innovative use of similar airborne, or satellite, data in preparation for PACE as well as projects that utilize synergistic data that increase the research, application, and societal value of PACE are encouraged.

A121 - Studying Aerosols from Geostationary Meteorological Satellites: Remote Sensing, Modeling, and Applications
With the December 2022 launch of the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) on EUMETSAT’s MTG-I series, nearly all of the populated Earth is being observed by at least one new-generation meteorological imager in geostationary orbit (GEO). FCI joins similar sensors aboard JMA’s Himawari series, NOAA’s GOES-R series, and KMA’s GEO-KOMPSAT-2, creating a GEO-ring.  All of these imagers have sensing performances that are of great use for the study of atmospheric aerosols and related topics including weather forecast, air quality, and wildfire/volcanic/dust storm hazards. With the GEO-ring, plus the inclusion of the heritage imagers in low Earth orbit (LEO), one can track aerosols around the world, while also characterizing their diurnal cycle. This session welcomes contributions on aerosol applications and remote sensing from GEO data, but also on forecasting using data assimilation. We are especially interested in studies showing the potential of GEO observations in synergy with those derived from LEO platforms.

Radiation measurements from satellites, aircraft and the ground have been successfully employed for characterizing radiative properties of aerosols, clouds, atmospheric gases, land, and ocean. One of the challenges is the development of a reliable procedure for inversion of the observations. This session is dedicated to unite works emphasizing the various aspects of numerical inversion that improve quantitatively and/or qualitatively the retrieved atmospheric products. The contributions are expected to address such important attributes of inversion as optimum accounting for errors in the data, inverting multi-source data, utilizing a priori information, inverse modeling and data assimilation, retrieval error estimations, and retrieval acceleration. Development of forward radiative transfer models to improve retrieval is also welcome. We encourage explorations of new retrieval concept and improved products such as aerosol types and profiles, surface particulate matter, trace gas, clouds, and land and ocean properties for existing and next generation of satellite missions and ground-based networks.
