1 A Bulk Parameterization of Giant CCN
Mechem, D. B., and Y. L. Kogan, 2008: J. Atmos. Sci, 65, 2458–2466

2 Outline Formulation of the GCCN parameterization
Comparison to the bin microphysical approach Sensitivity to GCCN and ambient CCN concentrations Summary

3 Giant CCN (GCCN; 1<r<10 μm)
3.5 μm NaCl deliquesces to a 20.2 μm nucleus 20~25 為cloud 和 rain water 的門檻,在大多數bulk 參數

4 LWC of deliquesced GCCN a=5.8 , w=vertical velocity rd=GCCN dry radius
If w=0.5m/s GCCN=1~10  k=6.2~3.8

5 α=3 or 4

6 A=3/4πρla3w0-0.36

7 Assuming r0=1、rl=3 μm , α=3

8 Comparison Three dimension : 40*40*51 Horizontal grid:75m ; Vertical grid:25m Domain size : 3*3*1.25 km Set CCN concentration : 628 cm-3 k=0.49 ( ) Ng=1360 L-1 ( )

10 Sensitivity CCN : 628 (polluted case) cm-3 82 (clean case) cm-3 k=0.49 (for 0.2% supersaturation,285、 37 cm-3 ) GCCN :surface concentration 30,300,1360 L-1

11 Clean polluted Feingold et al.(1999)

12 Follows Feingold et al.(1999) A= albedo , τ=optical depth  susceptibility

14 Summary Microphysical and cloud radiative properties exhibit the greatest sensitivity to the addition of GCCN for a large background aerosol Concentration. The addition of GCCN to a clean background environment with preexisting active precipitation results in only a modest change
