We have developed a new three-dimensional microphysical model embedded in a Titan GCM. This model uses a version of the Community Atmospheres Model (CAM 3) modified for Titan at JPL (James Friedson, A., et al., 2009, A global climate model of Titan's atmosphere and surface. Planet. SpaceSci.). Coupled with this model is a microphysics package from the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) that includes aerosol production, coagulation including particle charging, and sedimentation. Earlier versions of this model have been used for Titan to calculate particle size distributions, vertical abundances, as well as aerosol optical properties (O. B. Toon et al., 1992, A physical model of Titan's aerosols. Icarus 95, 24-53). We analyze the effects of Titan's winds on the aerosols and their spatial and temporal distribution. We are also coupling the radiative transfer module to the aerosols to see if heating in the atmosphere helps accelerate the winds. We will compare model simulations with observations from Cassini.
