Stephen E. Schwartz Brookhaven National Laboratory Atmospheric Sciences Division Bldg. 815E, 75 Rutherford Drive Upton, NY 11973-5000 Tel: 631-344-3100 Fax: 631-344-2887 email: ses@bnl.gov In recognition of the importance of aerosol radiative forcing of climate change, the Department of Energy (DOE) is focusing research efforts in the Atmospheric Science Program (ASP) to improve understanding and model-based representation of the processes controlling aerosol loading, distribution, and pertinent properties, relevant to the influence of aerosols on climate. This project consists of the activities of the Chief Scientist for the ASP. The Chief Scientist provides scientific leadership and vision to this program and enhances, facilitates, and promotes application of the research conducted in this program; provides leadership and guidance to program participants regarding the direction and course of the science conducted in the program; draws generalizations and conclusions from the work as reflected in the measurements and model calculations of the several investigators; represents this program in the broader national and international arena of climate change research; arranges and leads meetings of the ASP Science Team and others, and of smaller groups as required; establishes and maintains the project-data archive and data visualization tools; and, develops and maintains the program website.
