Project details
Title: Quantifying the direct and indirect effect of anthropogenic and natural aerosol in the Arctic
Supervisors: Prof Ken Carslaw, Dr Steve Arnold
Funded by: NERC/ UK Met office
Description:
The modelling of aerosol in the Arctic is highly uncertain due to the lack of observations available for model validation. Using the Leeds university global model of aerosol processes (GLOMAP) and observations made available through the activities of the international polar year we aim to determine the cause of model failures improving the model and gaining a greater understanding of the processes important to aerosol loading in the Arctic. Ultimately the improved model will be incorporated into the aerosol microphysics scheme of the UK met office Hadley centre model (UKCA) and used to study how changes in anthropogenic and natural aerosol will effect surface and atmospheric temperatures both in the Arctic and globally.
