Interactive comment on “Aerosols at the Poles: An AeroCom Phase II multi-model evaluation” by Maria Sand et al

The paper describe a important topic related to the behaviour of aerosol modelling at Poles. A comparison between models and most important with observations is reported. This add value to the manuscript. However, prior the publication a deeper description related not only to the observed behaviour of the models, but also to the underlying mechanisms (i.e. reasons) is required throughout the wh...

An Aerocom Assessment of Black Carbon in Arctic Snow and Sea Ice

Though many global aerosols models prognose surface deposition, only a few models have been used to directly simulate the radiative effect from black carbon (BC) deposition to snow and sea ice. Here, we apply aerosol deposition fields from 25 models contributing to two phases of the Aerosol Comparisons between Observations and Models (AeroCom) project to simulate and evaluate within-snow BC con...

Radiative Forcing of the Direct Aerosol Effect from AeroCom Phase II Simulations

We report on the AeroCom Phase II direct aerosol effect (DAE) experiment where 16 detailed global aerosol models have been used to simulate the changes in the aerosol distribution over the industrial era. All 16 models have estimated the radiative forcing (RF) of the anthropogenic DAE, and have taken into account anthropogenic sulphate, black carbon (BC) and organic aerosols (OA) from fossil fu...
