36、s and Astronautics (AIAA) as part of its Standards Program. The purpose of this Guide is to provide, in convenient form, a set of reference global aerosol models (GAM) for use by the aerospace community. Information is provided on aerosol physical and chemical characteristics, size distribution, phy
37、sical state, and mass concentration, as well as on their basic optical properties. The scope of the effort is confined to aerosols commonly found in the atmosphere, particularly those arising from natural causes; somewhat less emphasis is placed on aerosols produced by human development and industry
38、. The aim has been to provide a general survey of aerosol types and characteristics, rather than detailed physical and chemical properties. Derived quantities, such as atmospheric radiative characteristics, have similarly been omitted. The information provided in the form of tables and graphs is tak
39、en from published sources. No attempt has been made to create new data or new models. In this effort, assistance was sought from a worldwide community of aerosol scientists. A draft outline of the guide was prepared and distributed to over 40 atmospheric aerosol scientists around the world. The foll
40、owing individuals, who responded by sending and/or suggesting relevant literature, tables, and models, comprise the AIAA Global Aerosol Model Working Group. They are A. Deepak, Chairman (Science and Technology Corporation, USA) A. D. Clarke (University of Hawaii, USA); D. A. Gillette (National Ocean
41、ic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA); G. Hnel (Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitt, Germany); P. V. Hobbs (University of Washington, USA); R. Jaenicke (Johannes Gutenberg-Universitt, Germany); J. Lenoble (Universit des Sciences et Technologies de Lille, France); G. S. Kent (Science and Techn
42、ology Corporation, USA) F. Parungo (Science and Technology Corporation, USA); J. Podzimek (University of Missouri-Rolla, USA); E. P. Shettle (Naval Research Laboratory, USA); K. S. Shifrin (Oregon State University-Corvallie, USA); L. L. Stowe (NOAA, USA). Their assistance in this effort is gratefull
43、y acknowledged. To facilitate convenient access to aerosol characteristics and models, this guide is structured so that the early sections provide general information on aerosol properties and classification, as well as on the nomenclature used to describe them. The latter sections contain more deta
44、iled models and data relating to aerosol normally occurring in specific atmospheric regions and environments. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance of STC staff, especially M. D. (Sue) Crotts, Linda Schofield, and Hope Tarr, in the preparation of the camera-ready copy of this guide. It is h
45、oped this volume will be a valuable contribution to the international standards on global aerosol models for the aerospace community, and will act as a useful reference point for future updates.

The AIAA Atmospheric ” those which are produced in the laboratory or f
48、ield space by man-made chemical, thermal, or mechanical means are called “artificial aerosols.” In this work, the term atmospheric aerosols will cover aerosols derived from both natural and anthropogenic sources, the latter being those generated as by-products of human activity, such as burning of f
49、ossil fuels and are often referred to as “anthropogenic aerosols.” Atmospheric aerosols may be formed as the result of wind action at the earths surface (land or ocean) or formed in situ by condensation from the gaseous phase. Gaseous precursors may, in turn, be formed by the action of sunlight and chemical action on other naturally or anthropogenically-produced gases. Aerosols are subject to changes in size and composition by processes of condensation, evaporation, and coagulation. Water soluble aerosols may also change size in response to changes in atmospheric hum
