| Abstract | The current understanding of how aerosols affect weather and climate contains large uncertainties that must be reduced in order to better estimate the impact of anthropogenic emissions on the atmosphere. Towards this end, cloud-aerosol modules have been added to the chemistry version of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-chem) by researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). These new modules build upon the existing PNNL modules added to WRF-chem that were described at the 2005 Joint WRF/MM5 User’s Workshop [Gustafson et al., 2005]: the CBM-Z gas phase chemistry mechanism [Zaveri and Peters, 1999], the MOSAIC sectional aerosol module [Zaveri et al., 2005a,b,c, 2006], the Fast-J photolysis module [Barnard et al., 2004; Wild et al., 2000], and direct aerosolradiation feedbacks [Fast et al., 2006]. |
