The Design Document page provides a description of the algorithms, implementation and planned testing including unit, verification, validation and performance testing. Please read Step 1.3 Performance Expectations that explains feature documentation requirements from the performance group point of view.

Title: Interactions with the surface models (light absorbing particles in snow/ice)
Requirements and Design
ACME Atmosphere Group
Date:
Summary
Requirements
modify the atmospheric aerosol deposition code to separately treat BC mixed internally within hydrometeors and externally to hydrometeors, and to partition dust into four size bins instead of two
modify the SNICAR code to take size-dependent BC optical properties (i.e., depending on snow grain size and BC particle size) and provide a new lookup table for the optical properties
modify the code in ALM for calculating snow grain size to fix an identified bug
Do the same to the sea ice component to take new size-dependent BC optical properties
