6 Comparison of ff BC Climate Responses 1. Jacobson (JGR 107, D19, 2002). Size resolved (1 distribution) multi-component aerosols, size-resolved cloud formation on aerosols, size-resolved treatment of first and part of second indirect effects, climatological snow/ice albedo, emissions of Cooke et al. (1999), 2-D ocean module, many feedbacks. Fossil fuel BC+OM: +0.3 K (5-y average) +0.35 K (last year) Range of all simulations (+0.15 to +0.5) 2. Ibid. (JGR 2004, in press). Same as (1) but treated first and second indirect effects, calculated snow/ice albedo, used early Bond et al. (2004) inventory. Fossil fuel + biofuel BC+OM: +0.27 K (10-y avg. snow contrib. +0.06 K) 3. Ibid. Recent results. Same as (2) but used most recent Bond et al (2004) emission,, used two distributions (emitted ff+bf BC+OM and emitted other + heterocoagulated BC) and 10 layers of energy diffusion to deep ocean. Fossil fuel + biofuel BC+OM: +0.29 K (6-y avg.)

50 Summary Globally-averaged surface ocean pH may have decreased from about 8.25 to 8.14 from 1751 to 2004 Under the SREAS A1B emission scenario, pH may decrease to 7.85 in 2100, for an increase in the hydrogen ion by a factor of 2.5 since 1751. Ocean acidification may increase concentrations of atmospheric acids and decrease those of bases, although the magnitude is uncertain. Three global simulation results suggest a warming due to ff+bf BC of +0.25 to +0.3 K in the 5- to 10-year average with a range of +0.15 K to +0.5 K Maximum warming and cooling due to anthropogenic GHGs and aerosols exceed those of GHGs alone. Aerosols act on top of GHGs to enhance extreme warm and cool climate conditions. Modeled aerosol particles and gas-phase precursors appear to decrease precipitation in mountainous regions and increase it beyond the mountains, cool surface-air temperatures, slightly increase atmospheric temperatures, reduce solar and UV radiation and OH, and increase thermal-IR radiation to the surface in California.
