COSMO LM – ART(ART = Aerosolsand Reactive TraceGases) Concept: LM-ARTis online coupled. Identical methods are applied for all scalars as temperature, humidity, and concentrations of gases and aerosols to calculate the transport processes. It has a modular structure. Therefore LM-ART can easily be used in the forecast mode. www-imk.fzk.de/tro/ACP/

Treatment of the Aerosol Particles Interaction of five modes: Source: homogeneous nucleation of H2SO4/water • Two modes for SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, H2O, SOA, internally mixed. • One mode for pure soot. • Two modes for SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, H2O, SOA, and soot internally mixed. coagulation condensation of SO42-, NH4+, NO3-, SOA Three modes for mineral dust particles + three modes for sea salt particles +pollen

Foreseen simulations for 2005 within WP 2.4 • March 2006: 4.3. – 9.3.2006 • Data: • - ECMWF analysis (existing) • - soil properties in high resolution (B. Marticorena) • Comparison: • with meteorological stations • with measurements from Slingo et al. (2006) • - optical thickness measured by MFRSR in Niamey • upward and downward fluxes (ARM Mobile Facility [RADAGAST – Project]) • in Niamey • radiation fluxes in TOA (perhaps) measured by GERB and by CERES • broadband instruments on TERRA and AQUA satellites • - with AERONET stations • - with Lidar measurements (Flament)
