The organic aerosol density (1800 kg/m3) for calculating aerosol optical depth in aerosol_mod.F, based on Hess et al. (1997), is outdated and not representative of organic aerosols. The value is for a generic water soluble aerosol that could include sulfate, nitrate, SOA etc. Instead, we suggest GEOS-Chem users replace this with a density of 1300 kg/m3. There are numerous references that corroborate this value, or a value between 1200-1400 kg/m3. There are too many to list, but see for example p. 5174-5175 of Hallquist et al., ACP, 2007.
 +
 +
To make the change in aerosol_mod.F simply replace '''MSDENS(3) = 1800''' with '''MSDENS(3) = 1300''' in the RDAER subroutine. This leads to a 40% increase in organic carbon AOD.

Aerosol optical properties

Please visit our aerosol optical properties wiki page for more information about:

  1. Description of GEOS-Chem aerosol optics
  2. Aerosol optical properties update for v8-03-01
  3. Aerosol optical properties at high spectral resolution

Here is a list of updates that were considered when this was last reviewed in 2010 (2, 4 and 5 are included in the v8-03-01 update):

Proposed Update (include information on old values if known) Reference Contact
Account for absorption in the 300-500 nm range by OC, which may be greater than presently treated. Currently we have OC ss albedo in this range being > 0.95, though it may be lower than 0.85. Barnard et al, 2008 Daven Henze
Expand Mie table to include more wavelengths. Most literature values compare at 500 or 550 nm. Current GC lookup table includes 400, then 600. A wider range is also necessary for integrating to get total SW flux; something greater than 1500 perhaps? Martin et al, 2004 Daven Henze
Consider using the water content of the fine mode aerosol calculated in the aerosol thermodynamic module rather than hygroscopic growth curves to estimate wet particle effective radius. N/A Daven Henze
Consider changing the "default" AOD diagnostic wavelength from 400 nm to 550nm (for matching with MODIS & CALIPSO) N/A Colette Heald
Treat the radius of hydrophylic organic aerosol similar to that of sulfate. This is based on observations that organic aerosol and sulfate are often internally mixed. Should we consider something similar for black carbon? Rupkheti et al., 2007 Randall Martin


Additional updates to aerosol optics since v8-03-01:

Overhaul of AOD diagnostics v9-01-02 Patrick Kim (Harvard)
Dust submicron size distribution for optics v9-01-03 David Ridley (CSU, now MIT)

Update jv_spec.dat and jv_spec_aod.dat with better representation of OC growth with RH and correction to sulfate optics v9-02 Dave Ridley (MIT) and Randall Martin (Dalhousie)

Organic Aerosol Density (v.10-01)

This update was validated with 1-month benchmark simulation v11-01b and 1-year benchmark simulation v11-01b-Run0. This version was approved on 19 Aug 2015.

The organic aerosol density (1800 kg/m3) for calculating aerosol optical depth in aerosol_mod.F, based on Hess et al. (1997), is outdated and not representative of organic aerosols. The value is for a generic water soluble aerosol that could include sulfate, nitrate, SOA etc. Instead, we suggest GEOS-Chem users replace this with a density of 1300 kg/m3. There are numerous references that corroborate this value, or a value between 1200-1400 kg/m3. There are too many to list, but see for example p. 5174-5175 of Hallquist et al., ACP, 2007.

To make the change in aerosol_mod.F simply replace MSDENS(3) = 1800 with MSDENS(3) = 1300 in the RDAER subroutine. This leads to a 40% increase in organic carbon AOD.
