ep.Cloud Optical Depth in GEOS-5

GEOS-4: high clouds have very low optical depth - hence too little OH production by photolysis (plots from J. Logan compare GEOS-4 to GEOS-3 in July 2003 and 2001)

GEOS-5: July 2006 cloud properties - •Cloud fractions different! •Optical depths larger than GEOS-4

AEROCHEM is a container/manager for integrated packages with subcomponents.

At runtime one selects one or more packages to run and in case ofambiguity,which package provides a specific input to radiation.

Each package exposes its constituents to the GCM and requestsspecific “services” for each.

SummarySummary

Our objective for chemistry studies with GEOS-5 and the MAP CTM Framework are:

• To support applications in weather, climate, and data assimilation modes, with various of chemistry/aerosol packages.

• To support both “online” or “offline” studies within a single code base, allowing for direct comparison and validation of offline methodology.

• To provide forcing from GMAO simulations and analyses tailored to CTMF applications.

• To support external “Met” forcing and Chem components in CTMF
