COMBINE = Combined Observational and Modeling-Based studies of the aerosol INdirect Effect
COMBINE is a research project, funded by the Norwegian Research Council through the NORKLIMA programme.
Objective: To evolve the description and understanding of the aerosol indirect effect through a combination of model simulations and analyses of satellite retrievals.
Tools: NCAR CAM2, MODIS.
Project duration: 2003 - 2006.
Project Leader: Jón Egill Kristjánsson.
Other scientists: Trude Storelvmo, Gunnar Myhre, Frode Stordal, Mona Johnsrud.
