The Spatial Distribution of Mineral Dust and its Shortwave Radiative Forcing Over North Africa: Modeling Sensitivities to Dust Emissions and Aerosol Size Treatments
A fully coupled meteorology-chemistry-aerosol model (WRF-Chem) is applied to simulate mineral dust and its shortwave (SW) radiative forcing over North Africa. Two dust emission schemes (GOCART and DUSTRAN) and two aerosol models (MADE/SORGAM and MOSAIC) are adopted in simulations to investigate the modeling sensitivities to dust emissions and aerosol size treatments. The modeled size distributi...
متن کاملEstimation of diurnal shortwave dust aerosol radiative forcing during PRIDE
[1] Using measured and derived aerosol properties from the Puerto Rico Dust Experiment (PRIDE), a four-stream broadband radiative transfer model is used to calculate the downward shortwave irradiance (DSWI) at the surface and the shortwave irradiance at the top of atmosphere (TOA). The results of the calculated DSWI are compared against pyranometer measurements from the Surface Measurements For...
متن کاملShortwave radiative forcing by mineral dust aerosols over Arabian Sea: A model study
A dust aerosol model was developed and its performance validated against pre-INDOEX measurements. This model was incorporated in the NCMRWF T80 global model. A five-day integration was performed with the assumption that light mineral dust is present over Arabian Sea. Mean shortwave dust forcings were computed from the forecast. In general, at surface, a negative dust forcing was noted. At the t...
متن کاملShortwave direct radiative forcing of Saharan dust aerosols over the Atlantic Ocean
Using collocated Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy Budget Scanner (CERES) data on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, the instantaneous Shortwave Aerosol Radiative Forcing (SWARF) and daytime diurnally averaged SWARF at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) are estimated for Saharan dust over the Atlantic Ocean (10‡N–25‡N, 30‡W–15‡W)...
