During Stage 3, these process and property models are incorporated into
integrated aerosol models at the regional scale and then at the global scale.
Not exact matches
Regional
aerosol models represent important
aerosol properties and processes by
integrating a suite of property and process
models for a limited geographic area over a limited time span.
These programs focus on climate,
aerosol and cloud physics; global and regional scale
modeling;
integrated assessment of global change; and complex regional meteorology and chemistry.
Within the
integrated Earth system science paradigm, our major research thrusts include the physics and chemistry of
aerosols, clouds and precipitation;
integrating our understanding of climate, energy, and other human and natural systems through the development and application of
models that span a wide range of spatial scales; and determining the impacts of and informing responses to climate and other global and regional environmental changes.
The Sectional
Aerosol Model (SALSA) developed at the Kuopio Unit has been
integrated into several international climate
models.
This is an unfortunate consequence of GCM
modeling at the cell level, coupled with IPCC's treatment of
aerosol effects within a cell, absent a cellular cloud fraction
integrated into a global cloud cover.
