| Zusammenfassung |
| The climate-chemistry-aerosol-cloud-radiation feedbacks are important
processes occurring in the atmosphere. Accurately simulating those feedbacks
requires fully-coupled meteorology, climate, and chemistry models and
presents significant challenges in terms of both scientific understanding
and computational demand. This paper reviews the history and current status
of the development and application of online-coupled meteorology and
chemistry models, with a focus on five representative models
developed in the US including GATOR-GCMOM, WRF/Chem, CAM3, MIRAGE, and
Caltech unified GCM. These models represent the current status and/or the
state-of-the science treatments of online-coupled models worldwide. Their
major model features, typical applications, and physical/chemical treatments
are compared with a focus on model treatments of aerosol and cloud
microphysics and aerosol-cloud interactions. Aerosol feedbacks to planetary
boundary layer meteorology and aerosol indirect effects are illustrated with
case studies for some of these models. Future research needs for model
development, improvement, application, as well as major challenges for
online-coupled models are discussed. |
