Atmospheric Chemistry

how does the chemistry of the cloud multiphase system influence formation and evolution of the cloud droplet population ?

Atmospheric Chemistry  Many years ago, Twomey suggested that the most important parameter influencing cloud droplet number (CDN) is aerosol number concentration, while aerosol chemical composition has a relatively minor effect  Recently, model and experimental results have induced to revisit this assumption and to re-examine the relative importance of the different factors influencing CDN distribution

Atmospheric Chemistry Cloud formation  Atmospheric thermodynamic parameters (moisture availability, updraft velocity, temperature, etc.)  Aerosol properties: classically, the controlling chemical variables are CCN size distribution and water soluble mass

Atmospheric Chemistry Chemical factors controlling cloud formation  Not simply inorganic soluble salts influence cloud formation  Soluble or slightly soluble organics influence equilibrium water vapor pressure and decrease surface tension of the droplets  Soluble gases condensation (Charlson et al., Science 2001; Nenes et al., GRL, 2002) (Charlson et al., Science 2001; Nenes et al., GRL, 2002)

Atmospheric Chemistry  Biomass carbonaceous aerosols can influence equilibrium supersaturation  “ adding” organic soluble or slightly soluble material (with different chemical structure with respect to wet season) ;  decreasing surface tension (HULIS)  changing mass and properties of insoluble fraction (WIOC)

Atmospheric Chemistry Surface tension decrease Po Valley Tenerife ACE II SMOCC-dry season

Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling of chemical effects  By using a cloud parcel model, we have shown that there are many conditions in the atmosphere in which chemical factors (soluble and slightly soluble organic and inorganic compounds, surface tension, dissolution of soluble gases) influence/control cloud microphysics to the same extent as cloud dynamics and/or aerosol number concentration (Nenes et al., GRL 2002)

Atmospheric Chemistry (Roberts et al., JGR 2003),  Recent results, using the same 1D cloud model, suggest that changes in cloud albedo are more influenced by chemical and physical properties in case of hight aerosol loading (as in dry season)  “The knowledge on CCN spectra alone is not sufficient to fully capture the climatic influence of biomass burning aerosol”

Atmospheric Chemistry Conclusions  The potential impact of “chemical factors” on cloud activation in the case of biomass burning aerosol can be high for several reasons:  Chemical composition: WSOC concentration; WIOC; INORGANIC/WSOC ratio   effect
