Abstract: Aerosol size distribution (ASD) is an integral parameter in regional atmospheric models [1]. The LIDAR laboratory at UPRM will provide Puerto Rico a means of measuring ASD, and therefore improve these models. This project intends to develop a method of obtaining ASD with the use of a Sun-photometer data, local CIMEL data obtained from AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) [2], and an artificial neural network (ANN). The Sun-photometer used is an instrument that measures Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at five wavelengths of 380, 440, 500, 675, and 870 nms . A feed-forward, back-propagation artificial neural network was used to map the underlying pattern between AOD and ASD in southwestern Puerto Rico. After training, the network will produce ASD outputs based on new AOD inputs measured locally at UPRM with the Sun-photometer. It was determined that accurate predictions of ASD (MSE of 10-4) could be made depending on the size of the AOD data pool selected.
