Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | Brought together a group of radiative transfer experts. Cross-referenced a set of instruments that measure aerosol optical depth with each other. Benchmarked the UK state of the art radiative transfer model against international community. |
| Exploitation Route | A working group has recently been set up by the Met Office Academic PArtnership to pick up on some of the issues we had. |
