Goals
- Understanding of model diversity in spatial distribution and in removal processes
- Evaluate simulated spatial distribution and processes with observations
- Establish/quantify an acceptable diversity in global aerosol simulations
- Find methods to evaluate process parameterisations
- Define dedicated diagnostics of model results
- Elaborate recommendations
- Collect data for model evaluation (vertical profiles&processes) including uncertainty
- This working group has a special focus on dust.
Specific scientific questions
- How realistic are the simulated (vertical and horizontal) spatial aerosol distributions?
- How to validate aerosol processes?
- Is the diversity of simulated vertical dispersal caused by differences in transport or by removal processes?
- How much complexity of aerosol models is necessary?
- more
Processes and possible Diagnostics
Document model parameterisations
Assemble observed vertical profiles to evaluate models
PBL vs. Troposphere, look at mesoscale models
Exchange modules (use in the same GCM, link to GMI)
Short-term actions/experiments
Compare AeroCom data to observations
Redo simulation for 2003 with specific diagnostics
Passive tracer experiment (HTAP CO-experiments)
Validate model results with observed vertical LIDAR profiles: Rich and Christiane
Data to look at
- vertical distribution
ground-based networks: lidar backscatter (corrected), extinction ARM MPLNET EARLINET
satellites: GLASS, MISR?, CALIPSO
aircraft campaigns
- horizontal distribution
station data (surf conc) networks
satellite data (e.g. on dust episodes to pin down horizontal transport)
- processes
wet deposition of SO4?
