Modeling of particle size distribution and its influence on the radiative properties of mineral dust aerosol
Abstract
The radiative parameters of mineral aerosols are strongly dependent on particle size. Therefore explicit modeling of particle size distribution is needed to calculate the radiative effects and the climate impact of mineral dust. We describe a parameterization of the global mineral aerosol size distribution in a transport model using eight size classes between 0.1 and 10 μm. The model prescribes the initial size distribution using soil texture data and aerosol size measurements close to the ground. During transport, the size distribution changes as larger particles settle out faster than smaller particles. Results of Mie scattering calculations of radiative parameters (extinction efficiency, single scattering albedo, asymmetry parameter) of mineral dust are shown at wavelengths between 0.3 and 30 μm for effective particle radii between 0.1 and 10 μm. Also included are radiative properties (reflection, absorption, transmission) calculated for a dust optical thickness of 0.1. Preliminary studies with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) general circulation model (GCM), using two particle size modes, show regional changes in radiative flux at the top of the atmosphere as large as +15 W m−2 at solar and +5 W m−2 at thermal wavelengths in the annual mean, indicating that dust forcing is an important factor in the global radiation budget.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
