Aerosol-related research spans three key areas: numerical modeling, in situ measurements, and remote sensing. The community sees enhanced measurement and modeling capabilities through interactions among these groups, and this strengthens the overall scientific impact on climate and air quality research. The Models, In situ, and Remote sensing of Aerosols (MIRA) is an international forum that fosters collaboration across these fields and regional boundaries, enhancing scientific synergy and impact in aerosol-related research. MIRA focuses on interdisciplinary efforts where these fields intersect and currently supports four initiatives: Satellite-Assisted Particulate Matter (SAPM), Maps of Aerosol lidar ratios for CALIPSO (MAC), Tables of Aerosol and Cloud Optics (TACO), and Harmonization of aerosol Assimilation Models and Retrievals (HAMR). MIRA also welcomes new aerosol-related topics that benefit from collaboration. We invite presentations that highlight cross-disciplinary work and encourage participation from scientists interested in the MIRA concept. More information about MIRA can be found at https://science.larc.nasa.gov/mira-wg/.
