Presentation Transcript

  1. Can weekly cycles be used to determine the climatic response to anthropogenic aerosol loading? David Ridley (Supervisors: K. Carslaw, M. Chipperfield) • Useful for getting around the problems of trend analysis • Signal likely to be small hence lots of data needed • AIM: To determine a quantitative link between aerosol loading and consequent surface forcing Constrain aerosol direct and indirect effects

  2. DTR Weekend Effect

  3. Likely Causes • Synoptic weather events • Anthropogenic sources of pollution Need to determine the significance of the second cause

  4. Cycles in DTR

  5. Anomalies • Why is there no significant ‘weekend effect’ in Europe? • Why does the sign of the ‘weekend effect’ change?

  6. DTR Weekend Effect

  7. AOT Weekend Effect

  8. Further Work • Use phase of ‘weekend effect’ to investigate transport • Explore weekly cycle in contrails to determine their role • Use seasonal results to help understand processes • Using GLOMAP to model aerosol weekly cycle • Use RTM to determine the surface forcing expected
