Aerosols, Clouds, and Climate Change

Earth's climate is thought to be quite sensitive to changes in radiative fluxes that are quite small in absolute magnitude, a few watts per square meter, and in relation to these fluxes in the natural climate. Atmospheric aerosol particles exert influence on climate directly, by scattering and absorbing radiation, and indirectly by modifying the microphysical properties of clouds and in turn th...

Nitrate radicals and biogenic volatile organic compounds: oxidation, mechanisms, and organic aerosol

Oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) by the nitrate radical (NO3) represents one of the important interactions between anthropogenic emissions related to combustion and natural emissions from the biosphere. This interaction has been recognized for more than 3 decades, during which time a large body of research has emerged from laboratory, field, and modeling studies. NO3BVOC ...

SALSA – a Sectional Aerosol module for Large Scale Applications

The sectional aerosol module SALSA is introduced. The model has been designed to be implemented in large scale climate models, which require both accuracy and computational efficiency. We have used multiple methods to reduce the computational burden of different aerosol processes to optimize the model performance without losing physical features relevant to problematics of climate importance. T...

Constraints on aerosol processes in climate models from vertically-resolved aircraft observations of black carbon

Evaluation of the aerosol schemes in current climate models is dependent upon the available observational data. In-situ observations from flight campaigns can provide valuable data about the vertical distribution of aerosol that is difficult to obtain from satellite or ground-based platforms, although they are localised in space and time. Using singleparticle soot-photometer (SP2) measurements ...

Interactive comment on “Constraints on aerosol processes in climate models from vertically-resolved aircraft observations of black carbon” by Z. Kipling et al

This manuscript compares vertical profiles of black carbon (BC) mixing ratios from two global models (HadGEM3-UKCA and ECHAM5-HAM2) with aircraft observations. The models are found to over-estimate black carbon mixing ratios, particularly in the upper troposphere and tropics. Results of two additional sensitivity tests related to biomass burning emissions and convective wet scavenging are prese...
