      abstract     = {Monitoring aerosols over wide areas is a scientific
                      challenge with important applications for human health and
                      the understanding of climate. Aerosol optical depth (AOD)
                      measurements from satellites can improve the highly needed
                      analyzed and forecasted distributions of ground-level
                      aerosols in combination with models and ground-based
                      measurements. To assess the benefit of future satellite AOD
                      measurements, an observing system simulation experiment
                      (OSSE) is developed. In this pilot study, the OSSE is
                      applied to total AOD measurements from a flexible combined
                      imager (FCI) proposed to fly on a geostationary satellite.
                      OSSEs are widely used in the meteorological research
                      community, but their use for air quality applications and
                      specifically for aerosols is new. In this paper, the
                      functionality and potential of the developed OSSE for
                      evaluation of aerosol data from future satellite missions
                      are demonstrated. The results show a positive impact of
                      adding AOD observations next to in situ observations for the
                      analysis of PM2.5 (particles smaller than 2.5 mu m in median
                      diameter) distributions. However, the development of an OSSE
                      for aerosols presents a number of further challenges, as
                      discussed in this paper, which prohibits a detailed
                      quantitative analysis of the results of this pilot study.},
