Chemistry, Aerosols, and Climate: Tropospheric Unified Simulation (CACTUS) Objective: to improve understanding of interactions between atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, and climate

Approach: coupled chemistry-aerosol-climate GCM CACTUS model Atmospheric chemistry Emissions land use climate forcing GISS GCM Aerosol microphysics D climate chemistry

Combined radiative forcings from tropospheric ozone and sulfate, 1800-2000

CACTUS contributions to IPCC 2001 report

1800-2000 radiative forcing from tropospheric ozone is less well constrained than implied by IPCC Standard preindustrial simulation: DF = 0.44 W m-2 “Adjusted” preindustrial simulation (lightning and soil NOx decreased, biogenic hydrocarbons increased): DF = 0.80 W m-2
