The overall goal of the project was to contribute to the reduction of the uncertainties in our knowledge of the sources, spatial distribution, and characteristics of the tropospheric aerosols that are of importance for climate. This was accomplished by performing studies at sites which are representative for large regions or are situated within (or downwind of) areas where it is expected that the radiative forcing by anthropogenic aerosols is very substantial. The studies were done (a) at selected sites in Europe within the framework of the EURO- TRAC-2 AEROSOL subproject, (b) at sites in the eastern Mediterranean and in the Arctic, which are receptor areas of the European pollution plume, and (c) in tropical and subtropical regions.
