Aerosol effects on cloud dynamics , microphysics and precipitation : numerical simulations with WRF with spectral ( bin ) microphysics

Representation of nucleation mode microphysics in a global aerosol model with sectional microphysics

In models, nucleation mode (1 nm < Dp < 10 nm) particle microphysics can be represented explicitly with aerosol microphysical processes or can be parameterized to obtain the growth and survival of nuclei to the model’s lower size boundary. This study investigates how the representation of nucleation mode microphysics impacts aerosol number predictions in the TwO-Moment Aerosol Sectional (TOMAS)...

Aerosol distribution over Europe: a model evaluation study with detailed aerosol microphysics

This paper summarizes an evaluation of model simulations with a regional scale atmospheric climatechemistry/aerosol model called REMOTE, which has been extended by a microphysical aerosol module. Model results over Europe are presented and compared with available measurements in surface air focusing on the European distribution and variability of primary and secondary aerosols. Additionally, mo...

A global off-line model of size-resolved aerosol microphysics: I. Model development and prediction of aerosol properties

A GLObal Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP) has been developed as an extension to the TOMCAT 3-D Eulerian off-line chemical transport model. GLOMAP simulates the evolution of the global aerosol size distribution using a sectional two-moment scheme and includes the processes of aerosol nucleation, condensation, growth, coagulation, wet and dry deposition and cloud processing. We describe the re...
