1 Differences in the aerosol indirect effect between simulations with GEOS-Chem Bulk and TOMAS Jack Kodros & Jeff Pierce

2 Aerosol representation in models: predict size distribution or scale size distribution GEOS-Chem-TOMAS (sectional aerosol scheme) Add tracers for aerosol size (40-bin TOMAS ~360 tracers) computational burden

3 Aerosol representation in models: predict size distribution or scale size distribution GEOS-Chem-TOMAS (sectional aerosol scheme) Add tracers for aerosol size (40-bin TOMAS ~360 tracers) computational burden GEOS-Chem (standard) (bulk aerosol scheme) Track only total mass, assume fixed lognormal modes simplification

4 Standard bulk GEOS-Chem aerosol: single fixed mode for sulfate everywhere Aerosol number distribution for 1 µg m -3 sulfate dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Standard GEOS-Chem Diameter [µm]

5 Nucleation-rich region: Standard GEOS-Chem assumption is wrong Aerosol number distribution for 1 µg m -3 sulfate Nucleation-dominated region dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Standard GEOS-Chem Diameter [µm]

6 Aqueous-oxidation-dominated region: Standard GEOS-Chem assumption also wrong Aerosol number distribution for 1 µg m -3 sulfate Nucleation-dominated region dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Aqueous-ox.-dominated region Standard GEOS-Chem Diameter [µm]

7 Same total mass, very different CCN concentration Aerosol number distribution for 1 µg m -3 sulfate dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Aqueous-ox.-dominated region Nucleation-dominated region Cloud Condensation Nuclei (Cloud-relevant sizes) Standard GEOS-Chem Diameter [µm]

8 Same total mass, very different CCN concentration Aerosol number distribution for 1 µg m -3 sulfate dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Aqueous-ox.-dominated region Nucleation-dominated region Cloud Condensation Nuclei (Cloud-relevant sizes) Standard GEOS-Chem One size does not fit all for aerosol-cloud interactions Diameter [µm]

9 How do aerosol size distributions change around the globe due to anthropogenic emissions? In the standard GEOS-Chem model, the aerosol size distribution is assumed not to change What are the errors in the aerosol indirect effect because of this?

10 Experiment: Compare the aerosol indirect effect due to all anthropogenic emissions present day Simulation 1: all emissions included - pre-industrial Simulation 2: turn off all anthropogenic gas and aerosol emissions

11 Aerosol indirect effect due to anthropogenic emissions in TOMAS (-0.87 W m -2 )

12 Important differences in AIE (Standard-TOMAS) Difference: +0.2 W m -2 (24%) W m -2 More cloud reflectivity in Standard More cloud reflectivity in TOMAS

13 Decreasing particle size in TOMAS, larger relative increase in CCN for the same Δ mass TOMAS TOMAS (anthro off) Standard Standard (anth off) dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Diameter [µm]

14 dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Increasing particle size in TOMAS from aqueous oxidation, less CCN for same Δ mass TOMAS TOMAS (anthro off) Standard Standard (anthro off) Diameter [µm]

15 Comparison to observations: Both methods produce realistic results in present-day TOMAS CCN-sized particles Standard CCN-sized particles Model [cm -3 ] Observations [cm -3 ]

16 Aerosol number distribution for 1 µg m -3 sulfate Conclusion dn/dlog10(dp) [cm -3 ] Assuming fixed size distributions Diameter [µm] leads to differences in the estimated aerosol indirect effect Kodros, J. K., Pierce, J. R.: Important global and regional differences in cloud-albedo aerosol indirect effect estimates between simulations with and without prognostic aerosol microphysics, J. Geophys. Res., 2017.
