Scientific paper

We present the results of a coupled three dimensional global climate model (GCM) and aerosol microphsyics model to elucidate properties of the aerosols and their radiative effects on the atmosphere. In particular, we are interested in determining the size, number density, aerosol charging, and production rate of the aerosols. The values along with DISR derived indices of refraction allow us to retrieve optical depths and extinctions at all latitudes and seasons. We couple these aerosols to the radiative transfer code and see the effects on the heating rate and temperatures. These coupled aerosols also have dynamical feedbacks. Our model also allows us to study the historical albedo seasonal cycle from a microphysics perspective. We compare these properties with spacecraft and ground based data and use them to constrain the model.
