Effects of the physical state of tropospheric ammonium-sulfate-nitrate particles on global aerosol direct radiative forcing
The effect of aqueous versus crystalline sulfatenitrate-ammonium tropospheric particles on global aerosol direct radiative forcing is assessed. A global threedimensional chemical transport model predicts sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium aerosol mass. An aerosol thermodynamics model is called twice, once for the upper side (US) and once for lower side (LS) of the hysteresis loop of particle phase....
متن کاملSeasonal Variation of Nitrate Concentration and Its Direct Radiative Forcing over East Asia
This study investigated the seasonal variation of nitrate concentration and its radiative forcing over East Asia by using an online-coupled regional climate model. Comparison with a series of in-situ observations from Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET) and China demonstrated a good skill of the model in reproducing the magnitude and seasonality of nitrate concentration acro...
متن کاملGlobal simulations of nitrate and ammonium aerosols and their radiative effects
We examine the formation of nitrate and ammonium on five types of externally mixed pre-existing aerosols using the hybrid dynamic method in a global chemistry transport model. The model developed here predicts a similar spatial pattern of total aerosol nitrate and ammonium to that of several pioneering studies, but separates the effects of nitrate and ammonium on pure sulfate, biomass burning, ...
متن کاملIntercomparison of Radiation Transfer Models Representing Direct Shortwave Forcing by Sulfate Aerosols
A study has been conducted, involving 15 models by 12 groups, to compare modeled forcing (change in shortwave radiation budget) due to sulfate aerosol for a wide range of values of particle radius, optical depth, surface albedo, and solar zenith angle (SZA). The models included highand low-spectral resolution models, incorporating a variety of radiative transfer approximations, as well as a lin...
متن کاملModelling of nitrate and ammonium-containing aerosols in presence of sea salt
A thermodynamical model for treatment of gas/aerosol partitioning of semi volatile inorganic aerosols has been implemented in a global chemistry and aerosol transport model (Oslo CTM2). The sulphur cycle and sea salt particles have been implemented earlier in the Oslo CTM2 and the focus of this study is on nitrate partitioning to the aerosol phase and if particulate nitrate is expected to form ...
