TL;DR: The United Kingdom Earth System Model UKESM1 as discussed by the authors was developed and tuned to achieve acceptable performance in key physical and Earth system quantities, and discuss the challenges involved in mitigating biases in a model with complex connections between its components.
Journal ArticleDOI
The semi‐direct aerosol effect: Impact of absorbing aerosols on marine stratocumulus
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-eddy model was used to investigate the semi-direct effect of aerosols on the short-wave heating rate of marine stratocumulus and examine the dependency on the vertical distribution of the aerosol.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial distribution of mineral dust and its shortwave radiative forcing over North Africa: modeling sensitivities to dust emissions and aerosol size treatments
Chun Zhao,Xiaohong Liu,L. R. Leung,Ben Johnson,Sally A. McFarlane,William I. Gustafson,Jerome D. Fast,Richard C. Easter +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a fully coupled meteorology-chemistry-aerosol model (WRF-Chem) is applied to simulate mineral dust and its shortwave (SW) radiative forcing over North Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging of biomass burning aerosols over West Africa: Aircraft measurements of chemical composition, microphysical properties, and emission ratios
TL;DR: In this article, the physical and chemical characteristics of biomass burning aerosol over West Africa using data from the UK Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements aircraft were investigated using data collected during the Dust and Biomass burning Experiment (DABEX) and Dust Outflow and Deposition to the Ocean (DODO) field experiments in January and February 2006.
