  2. condensation new particle formation evaporation aqueous chemistry scavenging diffusion coagulation activation water uptake resuspension subcloud scavenging oxidation primary emissions dry deposition precursor emissions Goal: Develop a complete and computationally efficient representation of the aerosol for exploring the competing and complementing mechanisms by which natural and anthropogenic aerosols influence clouds and the cycles of water and energy.

  3. Current Weaknesses in CAM • Aerosol species are externally mixed (individual particles are composed of only a single species).

  4. Current Weaknesses in CAM • Aerosol species are externally mixed (individual particles are composed of only a single species). • Their size distribution is prescribed (number is diagnosed from the predicted mass). • Processes that should only affect mass also affect number. • Processes that only affect number are neglected.

  13. Process Treatment • New particle formation: binary homogeneous • VOC oxidation and condensation separated • Condensation: mass transfer theory • Coagulation: Brownian within, between modes • Renaming from Aitken to accumulation • Scavenging: activation of number and mass for each mode, number depletion by droplet collision/coalescence • Water uptake: Kohler theory for internal mixture, with hysteresis dependent on previous aerosol water • Optical properties: parameterization in terms of wet refractive index and wet surface mode radius

  14. Schedule • March 2006: Select version of CAM to start with • March 2007: Complete application and first simulation • September 2007: Complete evaluation and refinement • December 2007: Complete merge with developmental trunk
