Exploring the Constraints on Simulated Aerosol Sources and Transport Across the North Atlantic With Island‐Based Sun Photometers

Abstract Atmospheric aerosol over the North Atlantic Ocean impacts regional clouds and climate. In this work, we use a set of sun photometer observations of aerosol optical depth (AOD) located on the Graciosa and Cape Verde islands, along with the GEOS‐Chem chemical transport model to investigate th...
