Abstract:
The objective of the project is to understand aerosols optical properties in central and southern Poland divided into aerosols type and distance to a potential aerosols source. Changes of aerosols optical properties on the way from the source region to the measurement point in central Poland will be also studied. The objective will be achieved by coordinated measurements of aerosols optical properties in three locations in Poland supported by analysis of satellite based measurements. Aerosols typing based on measured optical properties will be developed. Potential source regions of aerosols will also be appointed.
