Transport Working Group (geos-chem-transport+subscribe@g.harvard.edu) Andrea Molod (co-chair) NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD (Andrea.M.Molod@nasa.gov) Hongyu Liu (co-chair) NIA / NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA (Hongyu.Liu-1@nasa.gov) IGC8, Harvard University, May 1-4, 2017

Processes Covered in the Transport WG Advection - “The process of transport of an atmospheric property solely by the mass motion (velocity field) of the atmosphere”; “predominantly horizontal, large-scale motions of the atmosphere” (AMS) - TPCORE transport scheme Convection - “predominantly vertical, locally induced motions” - needs to be parameterized in global models - deep & shallow (RAS, Zhang/McFarlane, Hack) Turbulent Mixing - full PBL mixing vs. non-local PBL mixing Wet Scavenging/Deposition - “The removal of atmospheric gases or particles through their incorporation into hydrometeors, which are then lost by precipitation.” - large-scale (stratiform) vs. convective; rain vs. snow

Transport / Wet Deposition Issues Addressed Since IGC7 Used 222Rn-210Pb-7Be tracers to diagnose transport & wet deposition (aerosol lifetime) for G-C benchmark (GCST; Harvard; NIA/LaRC) Impact of GEOS resolution & archiving on transport (Harvard; GMAO) Characterizing transport errors & impact (U. Toronto) Wet deposition: Fixed bug in GEOS-FP/MERRA/MERRA-2 re-evaporation calculation (UW; NIA/LaRC; GCST) Sensitivity of 210Pb aerosol lifetime to wet scavenging parameters (NIA/LaRC)

Current GEOS-Chem Transport Projects

Poster B.15, Day 2

Limits on G-C’s ability to represent intercontinental transport (Talk by Seb Eastham, Harvard, 1:40pm Day 2) 0.25°×0.3125° 4°×5° Low vertical resolution in the free troposphere is preventing GEOS- Chem from capturing intercontinental plume transport Eastham, S. and D.J. Jacob, “Limits on the ability of global Eulerian models to resolve intercontinental transport of chemical plumes”, ACP 2017.

Impact of Change in GEOS-FP on Transport (Talk by Clara Orbe, GMAO/NASA, 1:30pm Day 2) A series of CTM simulations were performed driven by current and previous GEOS-FP. Results of idealized and “realistic” passive tracer transport are studied to examine impact on constituent transport Difference in the January-March average concentrations of idealized radon between two simulations of the GEOS-CTM driven with new (f516) and old forward-processing (e5131) meteorological fields.

(Talk by Bo Zhang, NIA / NASA LaRC, 2pm Day 2) Constraints from airborne 210Pb obs. on aerosol scavenging & lifetime in G-C (Talk by Bo Zhang, NIA / NASA LaRC, 2pm Day 2) Standard Emission Updated Emission 222Rn emission change leads to overestimate of surface210Pb, suggesting that stronger scavenging is required. 222Rn 222Rn The updated 222Rn flux map introduces regional variations of 222Rn emissions based on up-to-date measurements, which leads to better agreement between model results and observations. Evaluation with aircraft /surface observations supports the incorporation of scavenging in mixed-phase clouds. The constrained global 210Pb lifetime is ~6.9 days.

Transport Working Group Breakout (joint with Carbon Cycle WG): Tuesday, 4:45-6pm (Room MD119) Topics for discussion Transport characteristics: GEOS-5, MERRA, FP, MERRA-2 GEOS resolution & subgrid convection 3. GEOS resolution & wet scavenging parameterization The loss of eddy vertical motions when averaging out winds over coarser resolutions. Do we have a solution now? 5. PBL height diagnostic 6. Wet scavenging in mixed-phase clouds See slide.
