Participants for experiments

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.
