  2. Chemistry-Climate Model SOCOL • Prescribed SST/SIC • MPI-Ocean Model • Mixed Layer Ocean CO,NOx emissions surface, lightning, aircraft Chemistry (MEZON) • Homogeneous and heterogeneous ozone chemistry • Tropospheric background chem.& project-specific extensions • Calculated every 2 hours Dynamics • MA-ECHAM4 / MA-ECHAM5 • L39 (0.01 hPa), T31 / T42 • ECHAM radiation scheme(& shortwave: Lyman-α, Schumann-Runge, Hartley) T, wind, H2O O3, H2O,CH4, N2O, CFCs Het.chemistry CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs, Halons Solar Radiation Tropospheric Aerosols Stratospheric Aerosols IACETH

  3. Year without summer 1816 (F. Arfeuille) • Investigate the climatic impacts of the strongest volcanic eruptions of the last 700 years. • Tools: • AER 2D aerosol microphysics model • CCM SOCOL vs2 (MEZON coupled to ECHAM4) • SOCOL runs include stratospheric aerosols taken from AER model output. Solar spectral irradiance from Dalton minimum reconstruction. Sea Surface Temperatures from coral/tree rings reconstruction. • T31L39 resolution. • Approach: • Ensemble runs around 1815-1818 with different volcanic scenarios, SST forcing, … IACETH 3

  4. The middle atmosphere response to the short-term variability of the solar activity(A.P. Shapiro) • Tounderstandthevariabilityofthemiddleatmospherestate on monthly time scalesandevaluatethecontributionofthe different drivingprocesses. • SNF funded • Tools: • CCM SOCOL vs2 • Approach: • Short-term (≈1 year) and medium-term (≈10 years) ensemble simulations of the atmosphere driven by daily spectral solar irradiance. Analysis of the satellite and ground-based data. • Status: • All runs have been completed, the analysis is ongoing. IACETH 4

  5. Nowcastingof the middle atmosphere state (T. Egorova) • To understand the influence of short-term variability of the solar irradiance and energetic particles on the middle atmosphere. • Learn how to manage near-real-time operation and visualization. • FP7 funded, SOTERIA (Solar-TERrestrial Investigations and Archives) • Tools: • CCM SOCOL vs2 extended to include a complete representation of ion chemistry. • Approach: • Ensemble simulations of the middle atmosphere state driven by near-real-time information about spectral solar irradiance and energetic particles. • Status: • Operational service from March 2011 IACETH 5

  6. FUPSOL(J. Anet, autumn 2010) • Investigate influence of the sun on global climate from past (1600) to future (2200) • Tools: • SOCOL vs3 (MEZON coupled to ECHAM5) coupled to MPI-OM via OASIS coupler • Includes particle precipitation from solar eruptions (SPE), solar wind (LEE) and galactic cosmic rays (GCR) • T31L39 resolution for atmosphere, GR30 (around 3°) for ocean • Approach: • 600 yrs control simulation 1600-2200 • Ensemble runs during Dalton Minimum and 21th century with and w/o volcanic eruptions • Status: • Coupling with MPI-OM ongoing IACETH 6

  7. IASSA (Impact of Artificial Stratospheric Sulfate Aerosols investigated by means of a coupled aerosol-chemistry-climate-model)(J. Sheng, autumn 2010) • To evaluate the expected efficiency and safety of geoengineering by injection of sulfur containing gases • SNF funded • Tools: • CCM SOCOL vs3 extended to include interactive/slab ocean and a complete representation of sulfate aerosol • Approach: • Long-term (≈100 years) ensemble simulations of the atmosphere driven by different scenarios of sulfate injections. • Status: • model is in preparation IACETH 7
