Official Summary

7/29/2009--Introduced.Black Carbon and Other Aerosols Research Act of 2009 - Directs the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to:
(1) develop an observation, monitoring, modeling, and research plan for black carbon and other aerosols that contribute to climate-forcing and climate change, which shall analyze research gaps, identify federal research priorities, include a framework for modeling effects on climate, identify sources, monitor atmospheric concentrations, and provide for assets necessary to develop a monitoring and research program; and
(2) establish a Black Carbon and Other Aerosols Advisory Panel to assist in development and implementation of such plan. Directs the Administrator to establish a black carbon and other aerosols monitoring and research program that combines observations, research, monitoring, modeling, and other activities within NOAA, consistent with such plan, and that includes:
(1) coordinated monitoring and research activities to improve understanding of specified factors that influence the contribution of such substances to climate change processes;
(2) strategic modeling activities to improve understanding of the transportation and transformation of such substances, their distributions and climate-forcing properties, and their roles in climate change and air quality;
(3) educational opportunities that encourage an interdisciplinary and international approach to exploring such substances' associated sources and impacts;
(4) public outreach activities; and
(5) coordination of monitoring research with various agencies and entities.
