Abstract

The simulation of atmospheric aerosols in Earth system models is often sensitive to model resolutions due to the use of parameterizations to represent aerosol-related processes. Using E3SMv1, this study investigates the impact of horizontal resolution on the simulated aerosol mass budget, aerosol-cloud interactions, and the effective radiative forcing of anthropogenic aerosols over the contiguous United States by comparing the nudged simulation results for 2016 from the low-resolution model and the regional refinement model.
