| What's SPRINTARS |
| SPRINTARS is a global three-dimensional aerosol transport-radiation model coupled with the CCSR (Center for Climate System Research, University of Tokyo)/NIES (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan) AGCM (Atmospheric General Circulation Model). The treated aerosol species and their precursors are main tropospheric aerosols and related gases; organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC), sulfate, soil dust, sea salt, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and dimethylsulfide (DMS). The aerosol transport processes include emission, advection, diffusion, and deposition (sub-cloud scavenging, in-cloud scavenging, dry deposition, and gravitational settling). The main output aerosol parameters are mass concentration, optical thickness, Angstrom exponent, single scattering albedo, direct radiative forcing, and indirect radiative forcing. |
