Global Tropospheric Mean Aerosol Optical Depth
The table below lists the mean annual global tropospheric AOD (unitless) of several aerosol species at 550 nm. All values are calculated using area-weighted results of the 1-year benchmark simulation at 4° x 5° resolution.

NOTES:
- The simulations that utilized GEOS-5 met fields were done with a 4-year spinup and were computed by Hongyu Liu.
- For v9-02r, tropopause values for June and July 2012 were used as estimates for June and July 2013 and were computed by Karen Yu.
- The simulations for GEOS-Chem v10-01 and later versions were done with a 4-year spinup and were completed by the GEOS-Chem Support Team.
