This article aims at applying e-Science methodology to atmospheric aerosol exploration. The amount of atmospheric observation data volumes, both experimental (measurement and observation results) and theoretical (numeric modeling results), is growing intensively. In order to navigate through these volumes they should be turned into information resources by attaching adequate metadata. It is necessary to provide capabilities to process results gained by specialists from different areas working in different organizations. Unified distributed access to heterogeneous information resources and computing systems is needed. Such type of access to Siberian regional data is available via the electronic atlas "Atmospheric aerosols of Siberia".
