Plate 6.1 (a) Map of computed annual mean atmospheric SO2 concentrations from the EMEP Eulerian Model for 1997 inulgSm-3. (From Olendryzynski 1999.) (b) Map of computed annual mean total of dry and wet deposited oxidized sulfur from the EMEP Eulerian Model for 1997inngSm-2yr-'. (From Olendryzynski 1999.)

Plate 9.1 Clear-sky shortwave aerosol radiative forcing (W m-2) retrieved from POLDER satellite measurements for (a)December 1996 and (b) Tune 1997. (From Boucher &. Tanre 2000.)

Plate 9.2 SAGE II maps of the aerosol extinction A = 1.02 um in the troposphere averaged over the period September-November during the years 1985-90 and 1993-6. High stratospheric aerosol concentrations during and immediately after the Mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991-2 obscured the troposphere, (a) Extinction at 6.5 km. (b) Extinction at 12.5 km. (From Kent et al. 1998a.)

Plate 9.3 LITE profile (Orbit 115; September 17,1994) of the lidar scattering ratio at l = 0.532(mm from latitude 50° N to 50° S. The tropopause is indicated with a white line, above which a fairly homogeneous stratospheric aerosol layer is clearly visible. (From Osborn et al. 1998.)

Plate 14.1 AOT 40 for the period April-September 1986 using the EMEP: (a) Lagrangian and (b) Eulerian photochemical models. (Reprinted from Environmental Pollution (Fowler et al. 1999). Copyright 1999, with permission from Elsevier Science.)

Plate 14.2 Modeled NH3 emissions from the European region for 1999 (Grid scale 50 x 50 km). (From Vestreng 2001.)
