Measurement - model comparison of biomass burning aerosol aging over West Africa
Summarise the main findings here.
We present measurements of BBOA over West Africa. Particle size was measured using a PCASP, as described in Bloggs et al 2004. Smith et al (1998) conducted several studies in this region before, but continental-scale measurements have not previously been made.
We simulate the evolution of BBOA over W Africa, using John's model.
We compared simulations from model Y (Smith et al, 2005) with our measurements.
Our simulations and measurements indicate particle growth is dominated by coagulation.
We have made fantastic insight into the BBOA aging process. Nonetheless, questions remain unanswered, so we should get some more funding.
Add figures here. It's a draft.
We would like to thank our EU funding body.
