A simple model of global aerosol indirect effects

[1] Most estimates of the global mean indirect effect of anthropogenic aerosol on the Earth's energy balance are from simulations by global models of the aerosol lifecycle coupled with global models of clouds and the hydrologic cycle. Extremely simple models have been developed for integrated assessment models, but lack the flexibility to distinguish between primary and secondary sources of ...

Aerosol formation in clouds | Our Research | Paul Scherrer ...

Mar 24, 2021 · Aerosol formation in clouds. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have studied for the first time how chemical reactions in clouds can influence the global climate. They found that isoprene, the dominant nonmethane organic compound emitted into the atmosphere, can strongly contribute to the formation of organic aerosols in clouds.

The central focus of the AerosolClimate Interactions research group in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department at UCLA is to understand and quantify interactions between particles and the climate system. This research is critical because the climate impact of aerosols (particles suspended in the atmosphere) constitutes one of the main uncertainties in our understanding of both past ...

Aerosol Formation and Growth in Laminar Flow

The mathematical model is compared to experimental measurements of aerosol volume distribution and dibutyl phthalate mass balance for a laminar flow cooled tube without seed particles. The model with LothePound theory shows fair agreement with the mass balance data, but overpredicts the total aerosol number concentration by four orders of ...

The surface mass balance is passed to the dynamic ice sheet model via the coupler and downscaled to the ice sheet grid. As of, a prognostic crop model (based on AGROIBIS) is included as an option. The crop model currently includes four crop types: corn, springtemperate cereal, wintertemperate cereal (not tested), and soybean.

Mass balance

A mass balance, also called a material balance, is an appliion of conservation of mass to the analysis of physical systems. By accounting for material entering and leaving a system, mass flows can be identified which might have been unknown, or difficult to measure without this technique. The exact conservation law used in the analysis of the system depends on the context of the problem ...

1. Introduction

The aerosol particles transport with the tropospheric movement will cause the aerosol particles concentrations to vary. In Figure 5 we consider the influence of the variation in total particles number concentrations, and the particles number concentrations are increased or decreased by 50%. So the radiation characteristics of the aerosol particles are changed, the atmospheric energy balance is ...

Massbalance models calculate the net result of snow accumulation and melt on a glacier for one or more years. Among the simplest massbalance models are methods that regress mean summer temperature and snowfall on the mass balance ( Reference Greuell Greuell, 1992; Reference Wallinga and van de Wal Wallinga and Van de Wal, 1998).

Aug 27, 2014 · Aug 27, 2014 · A numerical study, used for the influence of aerosol on the atmospheric radiation transfer, is conducted in this paper. Based on the established atmospheric radiation transfer model, we calculated the effect of species, concentration, and height distribution of aerosols on atmosphere radiation. The calculation results show that the aerosol particles affect the atmospheric radiation balance ...
