Past, present, and future concentrations of tropospheric ozone and aerosols: Methodology, ozone evaluation, and sensitivity to aerosol wet removal

[1] Tropospheric ozone and aerosols are radiatively important trace species, whose concentrations have increased dramatically since preindustrial times and are projected to continue to change in the future. The evolution of ozone and aerosol concentrations from 1860 to 2100 is simulated on the basis of estimated historical emissions and four different future emission scenarios (Intergovernmenta...

Different Approaches for Constraining Global Climate Models of the Anthropogenic Indirect Aerosol Effect

A erosol particles resulting from human activity such as sulfate and carbonaceous aerosols have substantially increased the global mean aerosol burden since preindustrial times. Aerosol particles can affect the climate system via several mechanisms. The most prominent impacts are 1) the reflection of solar radiation back to space (a "direct" effect), 2) the absorption of solar radiation by soot...

Challenges in constraining anthropogenic aerosol effects on cloud radiative forcing using present-day spatiotemporal variability.

A large number of processes are involved in the chain from emissions of aerosol precursor gases and primary particles to impacts on cloud radiative forcing. Those processes are manifest in a number of relationships that can be expressed as factors dlnX/dlnY driving aerosol effects on cloud radiative forcing. These factors include the relationships between cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concent...

Uncertainty in preindustrial abundance of tropospheric ozone: Implications for radiative forcing calculations

Recent model calculations of the global mean radiative forcing from tropospheric ozone since preindustrial times fall in a relatively narrow range, from 0.3 to 0.5 W m . These calculations use preindustrial ozone elds that overestimate observations available from the turn of the nineteenth century. Although there may be calibration problems with the observations, uncertainties in model estimate...

Anthropogenic forcing on tropospheric ozone and OH since preindustrial times

A global three-dimensional model of tropospheric hemistry is used to investigate the changes in tropospheric 03 and OH since preindustrial times as a result of fuel combustion and industry, biomass burning, and growth in atmospheric CH 4. Model results indicate a 63% increase of the global tropospheric 03 burden from preindustrial times to present (80% and 50% in the northern and southern hemis...
