Scientific Advisory Group on Aerosols

The goal of the SAG on Aerosol is to implement the aerosol measurement programme in GAW to determine the spatio-temporal distribution of aerosol properties related to climate forcing and air quality on multi-decadal time scales and on regional, hemispheric and global spatial scales.
