CAS Aerosol Modelling Activity & Project Summary:
Within CAS, there are a number of modelling activities aiming to develop a detailed understanding of aerosol properties, processes and behaviour with a particular emphasis on use of and validation by laboratory and field observations.
The modelling approaches may be classified according to their major purposes into prediction of aerosol
i) Properties from composition,
ii) Properties from other properties,
iii) Impacts from properties,
iv) Composition from component properties,
v) Effects of processes on composition or property evolution
vi) Effects of evolution of composition on impacts
i) Properties from composition,
Hygroscopicity from composition
CCN behaviour from composition
Prediction of laboratory determined behaviour from composition
ii) Properties from other properties,
CCN behaviour from HTDMA behaviour
iii) Impacts from properties,
Optical properties – scattering / absorption from size & composition & hygroscopicity
iv) Composition from component properties,
Vapour pressures, aqueous solubility
v) Effects of processes on composition or property evolution
Box modelling
Regional transport modelling
vi) Effects of evolution of composition on impacts
CCN property and Optical property evolution
