Abstract

The Progressive Aerosol Retrieval and Assimilation Global Observing Network (PARAGON) is a vehicle designed to facilitate the transformation of information into knowledge, and ideas into action. This integrated approach merges multiple observation techniques, modeling capabilities, geospatial statistics research, and high-performance information technologies into a systematic framework. In addition to aerosol-climate interactions, the concept can also be applied to other problems, such as, the impact of aerosols on air quality, or the study of cloud-climate forcing and feedbacks.
