- Proposed AeroCom Prescribed Experiment
The simulated AeroCom forcings show significant diversity that can partly be attributed to processes in the host models. To isolate the host model contribution we propose a simple AeroCom experiment with prescribed aerosol fields derived from the median of the AeroCom models. Please contribute to the discussion on the AeroCom Prescribed page. (Philip Stier (PhilipStier))
