Abstract

Atmospheric aerosol affects electromagnetic radiation transmission through scattering and absorption, which has great influence on optical satellite remote sensing, environmental monitoring, climate forcing and aerosol-cloud interaction. In2021, based on the data collected in the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea near the coast, we developed the coast aerosol model (CAM) to predict the aerosols size distribution under coastal environments. This work makes a comprehensive model evaluation for the CAM with the atmospheric aerosol observation results at the South China Sea coastal station (Maoming) in November 2023. The comparison results show that the CAM can effectively describe the characteristics of aerosol (number concentration, particle size distribution and extinction coefficient) in this area. During the observation period, the average error of prediction results of aerosol concentration is around 20.6%, indicating that the CAM is promising in prediction coastal aerosol microphysical and optical properties.
