“…6 NAM is mainly based on data collected prior to 1983. In general, NAM provides reasonable predictions for extinction over the open ocean, but in coastal regions they are often less reliable 9,10 when, in an off-shore wind, continental aerosols mix with the sea spray. Since NAM was developed from mainly open ocean data, the model cannot be expected to cover such situations.…”

“…In modeling of atmospheric propagation empirical and semi-empirical models 1 commonly are used, which have been developed for maritime [2][3][4][5] and continental [6][7][8] aerosols. However they are inadequate for representing their effects in coastal zones, because they do not account for specific processes unique to this region [9][10][11] . Clouds and coastal aerosols, i.e., continental and surf generated aerosols, can greatly affect the performance of airborne forward looking infrared, search, and track systems operating within the coastal zone [12][13][14][15] .…”

“…MODTRAN includes the Navy Aerosol Model (NAM) 17 and the Naval Oceanic Vertical Aerosol Model (NOVAM) 18 . They provide reasonable predictions for extinction over the open ocean, but in coastal regions their reliability is less [19][20] when, due to offshore winds, continental aerosols become mixed with sea spray. Several investigators proposed an extension of the Navy Aerosol Model based on the analysis of an extensive series of measurements at the island of Inisheer (the Irish Atlantic Coast) 19 , and at the island of Porquerolles (the French Mediterranean Coast) 21 .…”

“…6 show a remarkable agreement between MEDEX and the Black sea data, more particularly for larger wavelengths. The relative least performance of MEDEX at smaller wavelengths can be due to the usual difficulties for modeling the first mode of the aerosol spectrum (Tanguy et al, 1991). This could be one of the consequence of the role of the refractive index on the calculated aerosol extinction.…”

“…NAM is currently being upgraded to the Advanced Navy Aerosol Model (ANAM) developed by Gathman and Van Eijk (1998). Although NAM provides reasonable predictions for the extinction over the open ocean, experimental evidence shows that they are often less reliable in coastal regions (Piazzola, Van Eijk, & De Leeuw, 2000;Tanguy, Bonhommet, Autric, & Vigliano, 1991). To include coastal effects in the model for the prediction of aerosol concentrations, Piazzola et al (2000) proposed an extension of the NAM to coastal areas.…”
