abstract = {The work carried out within the AEROPA project, funded by the Spanish Ministry for Research and Innovation, is presented. The project is entitled “Characterization of AERONET aerosol observations over Europe for use into objectives of EMEP network (AEROPA)” and it was designed to assess and analyze of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Ångström exponent (AE) delivered by AERONET, for the comparison over the European region with the EMEP/MSC-W model. For this project various objectives were defined: a) the diagnosis of AERONET data quality over Europe and North Africa for aerosol characterization, b) the characterization of the AOD-AE data over Europe and its significance for climatology. c) comparison of AOD-AE AERONET data with EMEPMSC-W model belonging to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET.NO), in the European area taking into account the different AERONET data quality levels; and e) the discrimination and classification of aerosol types in Europe based on their optical properties and air mass origin. The aim of this proposal is establishing a set of recommendations about the correct use of the column-integrated aerosol data provided by AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network,), within the objectives and scope of the European network EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Program o Co-operative Program for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-Range Transmission of Air Pollutant in Europe). To achieve these objectives it was necessary to develop a relational database that contains the aerosol properties over the Europe area. This relational database is powered by the CÆLIS system (www.caelis.uva.es), developed by the GOA-UVA, and can be accessed through a web interface. One of the main objectives is the development, application and operation of a simplified version of the Unified EMEP model, to estimate the aerosol optical depth. The U-EMEP is a chemical transport model (CTM) developed by the MSC-W (Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-West) center, Norwegian Meteorological Institute. This model estimates the concentration of various atmospheric components, by tracking the long-range transboundary atmospheric transport, at a global, regional or local scale. The simplified version provides aerosol optical depth (AOD), by means of an aerosol model that estimates this radiative property. The AOD is not a common product in CTM, but nowadays it is seen as a necessary quantity for the global aerosol characterization. We have carried out a wide evaluation of other aerosol parameters such as: the microphysical parameters, the asymmetry parameter, the single scattering albedo, etc., a work that was not included in the initial objectives of the Project. This extensive evaluation has the advantage to give a more complete characterization of the aerosol properties that are provided by AERONET. Most of these results can be seen in this website through the selection of a given site. Plotting and mapping tools are also available upon registration. This system, which is continuously improving, was designed for aerosol data analysis related to aerosol studies and we believe that it will be useful for most AERONET users in Europe and other research groups working in this field.},
