South Eastern Pacific/Western South America…• Active volcanoes (natural emissions)
• Atacama: dryest desert of the world between the open Pacific and the heigh Andes (dust and circulations)
• Intensive and long-term mining activities (anthropogenic emissions)
• Humboldt current, upwelling and fishery (biogenic emissions, air-sea exchange and circulations)
• Most persistent and extensive subtropical Sc deck of the SH (microphysics and energy balance)

The questions we want to address• Which are the emission strengths and distributions of natural
and anthropogenic emissions of aerosols and precursors over
the area? (Emphasis on sulfur)
• Which is the regional distribution of these (sulfate) aerosols?
Which is the relative contribution of anthropogenic and
natural sources ?
• Which aerosols are present and which become activated (CCN)
in the coastal stratus deck (“camanchaca”)?
• How (much) do the anthropogenic sulfate aerosols affect cloud
properties off the coast from Chile? Has there been a trend in
the CDNC signal?

How…• …emission strengths/distribution …
– Anthropogenic and volcanic: compile, order, check, extrapolate…
– Biogenic:…parameterize…ROUGH estimate
• …regional distribution and relative contributions..– Dispersion modeling using re-analysis and downscaling
– Compare with available observations
• …which aerosols become CCN…– Measurement campaign:
• activated aerosols at a camanchaca station (CVI+on-line analysis)
• PM10/PM2.5 at the same site & PIXE analyses & ionchromatograph
• SO2 continuosly
• Sunphotometer(s)
– Deploy passive samplers for N-S transect and seasonal changes
• ..changes in reff, n, CDNC…– Regional climate model simulations– Trend analyses for satellite data
