Parameterization of sea-salt optical properties and physics of the associated radiative forcing
The optical properties of sea-salt aerosol have been parameterized at shortwave and longwave wavelengths. The optical properties were parameterized in a simple functional form in terms of the ambient relative humidity based on Mie optical property calculations. The proposed parameterization is tested relative to Mie calculations and is found to be accurate to within a few percent. In the parame...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Parameterization of sea-salt optical properties andphysics of the associated radiative forcing” by J. Li et al
First we would like to thank Reviewer 3 for his/her supportive review. Indeed, previous dry approaches for aerosol optical properties have not worked properly. Historically, the transport of sea salt is based on two dry size modes with effective radius 0.731 and 6.13 μm. Today, most research groups have the ability to handle a continuous wet size spectrum (http://nansen.ipsl.jussieu.fr/AEROCOM/...
متن کاملA model of melt pond evolution on sea ice
[1] A one-dimensional, thermodynamic, and radiative model of a melt pond on sea ice is presented that explicitly treats the melt pond as an extra phase. A two-stream radiation model, which allows albedo to be determined from bulk optical properties, and a parameterization of the summertime evolution of optical properties, is used. Heat transport within the sea ice is described using an equation...
متن کاملModeling and evaluation of the global sea-salt aerosol distribution: sensitivity to emission schemes and resolution effects at coastal/orographic sites
One of the major sources of uncertainty in model estimates of the global sea-salt aerosol distribution is the emission parameterization. We evaluate a new sea-salt aerosol life cycle module coupled to the online multiscale chemical transport model NMMB/BSC-CTM. We compare 5 yr global simulations using five state-of-the-art sea-salt open-ocean emission schemes with monthly averaged coarse aeroso...
متن کاملLaboratory measurements of the optical properties of sea salt aerosol
The extinction spectra of laboratory generated sea salt aerosols have been measured from 1 µm to 20 µm using a Bruker 66v/S FTIR spectrometer. Concomitant measurements include temperature, pressure, relative humidity and the aerosol size distribution. The refractive indices of the sea salt have been determined using a simple har-5 monic oscillator band model (Thomas et al., 2004) for aerosol wi...
