Sensitivity of sulfate direct climate forcing to the hysteresis of particle phase transitions Jun Wang, Andrew Hoffman, Scot Martin, Daniel Jacob Present at 3rd GEOS–Chem Users' Meeting, April. 11, 2007

Introduction of sulfate phase & composition Solids: AS (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 LET (NH 4 ) 3 H(SO 4 ) 2 AHS (NH 4 ) HSO 4 Aqueous: SO4aq SO 4 2-, H +, NH 4 +, H 2 O Extent of neutralization X= [NH 4 ]/2[SO 4 ] X = 1 X = 0.75 X =  X  1 Phase transition deliquesce Crystallization

To predict the phase transition requires: (a) Current phase (RH back-trajectory) which curve ? (b) RH in next time step which direction? (c) CRH(X) & DRH(X) Phase changes? The hysteresis of sulfate phase transition aqueous solids Aerosol phase transition Aerosol direct forcing on climate? Crystalline relative humidityDeliquesce relative humidity

CRH DRH Treatment of hysteresis effect in previous studies All previous forcing estimates diagnose the sulfate phase based on local RH only. A full consideration of the hysteresis loop has not been made in the past estimate of sulfate climate forcing.

Summary & Outlook Phase transition of sulfate aerosols is now developed in GEOS-Chem. For anthropogenic component only, solids contribute 26% to sulfate burden, 31% of clear-sky sulfate climate forcing, 37% of full-sky sulfate climate forcing, reflecting the correlation between solids and clear-sky conditions Hystereisis can result in the uncertainty in the forcing calculations by 12%. Using upper-side hysteresis loop overestimate forcing by +5%. Regional differences can be up to 20%. Future research is to look at the implication of modeled results for the study of cirrus cloud formation and modeling of O 3.
