Climate change studies, atmospheric correction of the satellite data, satellite data validation, and aerosol modeling creates a strong demand for new data acquisition. Ship based measurements can at least partly fill the gap in our knowledge on the global aerosol distribution over the oceans and complement island based AERONET sites. We plan to reestablish NASA s ship based aerosol optical depth measurement network by deploying hand held sun photometers on various ships of opportunity; developing an archival system, similar to the AERONET browser, but specifically designed for moving objects i.e., ships ; developing a calibration protocol; developing stand alone processing, utilizing AERONET s Version 2 algorithm; and developing a centralized archiving and distribution system allowing for public domain, web based access. The suggested Oceanic Aerosol Network AERONET OAN will provide important information for the Ocean Color community as well as global ocean and global climate studies.
