متن کاملEvaluation of the global aerosol microphysical ModelE2-TOMAS model against satellite and ground-based observations
The TwO-Moment Aerosol Sectional (TOMAS) microphysics model has been integrated into the state-ofthe-art general circulation model, GISS ModelE2. This paper provides a detailed description of the ModelE2-TOMAS model and evaluates the model against various observations including aerosol precursor gas concentrations, aerosol mass and number concentrations, and aerosol optical depths. Additionally...
متن کاملTropospheric Aerosol Size Distributions Simulated by Three Online Global Aerosol Models Using the M7 Microphysics Module
Tropospheric aerosol size distributions are simulated by three online global models which employ exactly the same aerosol microphysics module, but differ in many aspects such as model meteorology, natural aerosol emission, sulfur chemistry, and deposition processes. The main purpose of this study is to identify the influence of these differences on the aerosol simulation. Number concentrations ...
متن کاملAerosol Satellite Remote Sensing Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing
A new aerosol retrieval algorithm is presented which computes the spectral opti-cal depth over the ocean from spaceborne radiometers. It includes both multiplescattering and the bi-directional re ectance of the ocean surface. The algorithmis applied to data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2).This radiometer aboard the ERS-2 satellite has 4 bands in the visible a...
متن کاملRepresentation of nucleation mode microphysics in a global aerosol model with sectional microphysics
In models, nucleation mode (1 nm < Dp < 10 nm) particle microphysics can be represented explicitly with aerosol microphysical processes or can be parameterized to obtain the growth and survival of nuclei to the model’s lower size boundary. This study investigates how the representation of nucleation mode microphysics impacts aerosol number predictions in the TwO-Moment Aerosol Sectional (TOMAS)...
