Toward a Minimal Representation of Aerosols in Climate Models: Comparative Decomposition of Aerosol Direct, Semidirect, and Indirect Radiative Forcing (2012, methodology): “Bulk methods prescribe the size distribution for each component (which are assumed to be externally mixed) and hence are inherently inappropriate because they do not distinguish between processes that affect number but not mass and those that affect mass but not number (Ghan et al. 2001).”
Cancellation of Aerosol Indirect Effects in Marine Stratocumulus through Cloud Thinning (2007, background): “Most global climate models with a treatment of the so-called indirect effects, that is, the effects of aerosols on cloud albedo, show that increased CCN concentration results in increased cloud droplet concentration Nd (Ghan et al. 2001).”
Uncertainty in global CCN concentrations from uncertain aerosol nucleation and primary emission rates (2008, methodology): “…global atmospheric models with online aerosol microphysics have been used to predict the time and location dependent aerosol size distributions (Ghan et al., 2001; Wilson et al., 2001; Adams and Seinfeld, 2002; Adams and Seinfeld, 2003; Easter et al., 2004; Rodriguez and Dabdub, 2004;…”
Dependence of nucleation rates on sulfuric acid vapor concentration in diverse atmospheric locations (2008, background): “Several recent field campaigns [Kerminen et al., 2005; Laaksonen et al., 2005; Lihavainen et al., 2003] and modeling efforts [ Ghan et al., 2001 ] have directly implicated newly formed particles from atmospheric nucleation events as an important source of cloud condensation nuclei.”
Mesoscale modeling of springtime Arctic mixed-phase stratiform clouds using a new two-moment bulk microphysics scheme (2005, background): “Most studies have focused on aerosol modification of the droplet population (e.g., Albrecht 1989; Coakley and Walsh 2002; Ghan et al. 2001; Rotstayn and Penner 2001; Feingold et al. 2003), but aerosol–ice interactions may also have a significant impact on ice- and mixed-phase clouds (e.”
Constraining cloud droplet number concentration in GCMs suppresses the aerosol indirect effect (2009, background): “[2000] and Ghan et al. [2001]. On a similar note, Kirkevåg et al. [2008] show that adding 15 cm 3 to the CDNC everywhere, as a proxy for natural background aerosols which are not included in the model (nitrate, biological particles), reduces the simulated aerosol indirect effect (the change in short”
Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, unknown): “Modal schemes have been applied for mineral dust (Schulz et al., 1998) and for sulfuric acid, soot and seasalt (Wilson et al., 2001; Ghan et al., 2001; Vignati et al., 2004).”
Multicomponent aerosol dynamics model UHMA: model development and validation (2004, background): “…I Back Close Full Screen / Esc Print Version Interactive Discussion © EGU 2004 and sea salt, absorb water readily which makes them substantial contributors to cloud droplet formation (Jones et al., 1994; Murphy et al., 1998; Feingold et al., 1999; Ghan et al., 2001a; Ishizaka and Adhikari, 2003).”
Aerosol indirect forcing in a global model with particle nucleation (2008, methodology): “Several studies have used the size-resolved aerosol composition predicted from their aerosol models to estimate the aerosol indirect effect (Ghan et al., 2001a; Lohmann et al., 2007; Storelvmo et al., 2006).”
