Global Aerosol Microphysics With TOMAS Peter J. Adams Acknowledgments: Win Trivitayanurak GEOS-CHEM User’s Meeting April 7, 2009 Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies (CAPS)

Motivation: CCN and Indirect Effect Diameter Aerosol Number Distribution Indirect effect of aerosols on clouds depends on number concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) Activation = conversion of a CCN particle to a cloud droplet Kohler theory tells us that a CCN is a particle with enough solute to overcome surface tension CCN = number of particles larger than critical diameter = shaded area Critical diameter depends on: Aerosol composition (solubility) Cloud supersaturation →Need to predict size-resolved aerosol composition

TOMAS Algorithm TOMAS (TwO-Moment Aerosol Sectional microphysics algorithm) Microphysics: condensation, coagulation, nucleation Moments = 1) aerosol number and 2) aerosol mass 30 bins segregated by dry mass per particle Size range is about 10 nm – 10 μm DpDp Number Size Distribution N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 N7 N30 N1 … Mass Size Distribution DpDp … SO 4 2- NaCl … M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M30 M (  m)

GEOS-CHEM Implementation: Status TOMAS is fully implemented in GEOS-CHEM (v ) Size distribution 30 size sections; 10 nm to 10  m Species Sulfate Sea-salt (NaCl) Organic Carbon (OC): hydrophobic and hydrophillic Elemental Carbon (EC): externally mixed and internally mixed Mineral Dust Note this is 240 TOMAS-related tracers Processes Coagulation Condensational growth (H 2 SO 4 and SOA condensation) Cloud processing (in-cloud oxidation of SO 2 to sulfate) Nucleation: binary (Vehkamaki) and ternary (Napari); ion-induced (MODGIL) easily implemented Size-resolved deposition and primary emissions
