Radiative effect of clouds on tropospheric chemistry in a global three-dimensional chemical transport model
[1] Clouds exert an important influence on tropospheric photochemistry through modification of solar radiation that determines photolysis frequencies (J-values). We assess the radiative effect of clouds on photolysis frequencies and key oxidants in the troposphere with a global three-dimensional (3-D) chemical transport model (GEOS-CHEM) driven by assimilated meteorological observations from th...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Chemistry Involving Methanol in Tropospheric Clouds
[1] In this report we analyze airborne measurements to suggest that methanol in biomass burning smoke is lost heterogeneously in clouds. When a smoke plume intersected a cumulus cloud during the SAFARI 2000 field project, the observed methanol gas phase concentration rapidly declined. Current understanding of gas and aqueous phase chemistry cannot explain the loss of methanol documented by thes...
متن کاملCan a “state of the art” chemistry transport model simulate Amazonian tropospheric chemistry?
[1] We present an evaluation of a nested high‐resolution Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS)‐Chem chemistry transport model simulation of tropospheric chemistry over tropical South America. The model has been constrained with two isoprene emission inventories: (1) the canopy‐scale Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) and (2) a leaf‐scale algorithm coupled to the Lund‐P...
متن کاملThe global chemistry transport model TM5: description and evaluation of the tropospheric chemistry version 3.0
We present a comprehensive description and benchmark evaluation of the tropospheric chemistry version of the global chemistry transport model TM5 (Tracer Model 5, version TM5-chem-v3.0). A full description is given concerning the photochemical mechanism, the interaction with aerosol, the treatment of the stratosphere, the wet and dry deposition parameterizations, and the applied emissions. We e...
متن کاملInfluence of convective transport on tropospheric ozone and its precursors in a chemistry-climate model
The impact of convection on tropospheric O3 and its precursors has been examined in a coupled chemistryclimate model. There are two ways that convection affects O3. First, convection affects O3 by vertical mixing of O3 itself. Convection lifts lower tropospheric air to regions where the O3 lifetime is longer, whilst mass-balance subsidence mixes O3-rich upper tropospheric (UT) air downwards to ...
