Description
We expand the Modal Aerosol Module (MAM) in CESM2-CAM6 to consider the emission of marine organic aerosol (MOA) as well as its impacts by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nucleation particles (INPs).
MOA is an important source for CCN and INPs over the Southern Ocean and has shown important climate implications over the remote oceans, which are detailed in this recent paper (Zhao and Liu et al, ACP, 2021).
There is a general interest in MOA in the community. We would like to share our MOA code in CAM6 with the community, which can be found here.
Summary of our code developments:
- added emission of MOA
- added CCN and INPs effects of MOA
- Code development is currently based on the cesm2.0.1-rc.01
Thank you in advance to @lkemmons for helping with reviewing our changes.
