Aerosol - Cloud - Interactions
Having completed the development of a new aerosol
submodel applicable on the global scale combining aerosol microphysics and
thermodynamics (GMXE), I currently work on further improving the schemes.
This includes:
- Setting up a new emission interface for aerosol compounds and their respective size categories
- Combining equilibrium with non-equilibrium chemical processes in the aerosol
- Formation and partitioning of secondary organic aerosols
- Aging of organic carbon in the atmospheric aerosol
- Aerosol hygroscopicity
- Direct effects of aerosols (interaction with radiation)
- Indirect effects of aerosols (interaction with clouds)
Furthermore, I apply our model to scientific questions on the above mentioned topics.
