9618425 Turco The project will construct, test, and apply a comprehensive model of global tropospheric aerosol microphysics, chemistry, and transport. The model will include the formation, size evolution, composition, dispersion and removal of airborne particles and thus determine their distribution, optical, physical, and chemical effects. The research contains three tasks: (1) construction of a microphysics and optics model which treats a multi-component aerosol system and calculates wavelength-dependent optical depths; (2) integration of photochemistry with aerosol microphysics, including material fluxes between vapor and condensed phase; and (3) coupling of aerosol/chemistry model to a 3-D tracer transport code. The aerosol model will be applied to an investigation of new sulfate aerosol particles that are formed in the remote marine atmosphere. The model predictions will be compared with measurements of ultrafine particles during the Southern Hemisphere Marine Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-1). The validated and aerosol model will be used as a tool for predicting the chemical and climatic impacts of atmospheric particles on climate.

9618425 Turco该项目将建立、测试和应用全球对流层气溶胶微物理、化学和传输的综合模式。该模型将包括空气中颗粒物的形成、尺寸演变、组成、扩散和清除，从而确定它们的分布、光学、物理和化学效应。这项研究包括三项任务：(1)建立一个处理多组分气溶胶系统并计算与波长有关的光学厚度的微物理和光学模型；(2)将光化学与气溶胶微物理相结合，包括蒸气和凝聚相之间的物质通量；(3)将气溶胶/化学模型与三维示踪传输程序相耦合。气溶胶模型将用于研究在遥远的海洋大气中形成的新的硫酸盐气溶胶粒子。模型的预测将与南半球海洋气溶胶特性实验(ACE-1)期间的超细颗粒测量结果进行比较。经过验证的气溶胶模型将被用作预测大气颗粒物对气候的化学和气候影响的工具。
