WP2: Implementation of time-evolving aerosol forcing
Microphysics code modifications of the regional climate model WRF to include aerosol-cloud interactions (indirect effect) and assessment of their impact in multi-year simulations. Update of aerosol forcing based on a state-of-the-art aerosol dataset (MERRA). Regional climate simulations over Europe (12 Km) to test the development modifications. Evaluation of the climate simulations and final assessment of code development.
