TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing knowledge with regard to organic aerosol (OA) of importance for global climate modelling and defined critical gaps needed to reduce the involved uncertainties, and synthesized the information to provide a continuous analysis of the flow from the emitted material to the atmosphere up to the point of the climate impact of the produced organic aerosols.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive source for emission input to global modeling, when simulating the aerosol impact on climate with state-of-the-art aerosol component modules is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an integrated microphysical and dynamical picture of the global tropospher ic aerosol system by reviewing the microphysical processes and those elements of the general circulation that determine the size distribution and chemical composition of the aerosol.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated two sources of uncertainties in modelling black carbon: those due to the use of different schemes for BC ageing and its removal rate in the global Transport-Chemistry model TM5, which propagate through to both the emission inventories, and the measurements used for the model evaluation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a description is provided of a version of the AM4.0/LM 4.0 atmosphere/land model that will serve as a base for a new set of climate and Earth system models (CM4 and ESM4) under development at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL).
