A new method is developed to obtain a conservative and positive definite advection scheme that produces only small numerical diffusion. Advective fluxes are computed utilizing the integrated flux form of Tremback et al. These normalized then limited by upper lower values. The resulting equation numerically solved means usual upstream procedure. proposed treatment not restricted but may also be applied other known algorithms which formulated in terms advective fluxes. Different tests...
A numerical one‐dimensional model of the marine boundary layer (MBL) is presented. It includes chemical reactions in gas phase and aerosol particles, focusing on reaction cycles halogen compounds. Results earlier box studies were confirmed. They showed acid‐catalyzed activation bromine from sea salt aerosol, role radicals destruction O 3 . distinct diurnal variation BrO mixing ratios with maxima at sunrise sunset was found which might be cause recently published “sunrise ozone destruction.”...

A companion paper presented a numerical one‐dimensional model of the marine boundary layer (MBL) including chemical reactions in gas and aqueous phase, focusing on reaction cycles halogen compounds. In this we study interactions between sulfur chemistry. HOCl HOBr were found to be generally more important than H 2 O or 3 oxidation S(IV) sea salt aerosols cloud‐free MBL.

A one-dimensional radiation fog model is presented which includes a detailed description of the interaction between atmospheric radiative transfer and microphysical structure fog. Aerosol particles activated cloud droplets are treated using two-dimensional joint size distribution whereby activation process aerosols explicitly modeled. For this purpose new positive definite semi-Lagrangian advection scheme developed that produces only small numerical diffusion numerically very efficient....
Abstract. The impact of six heterogeneous gas–aerosol uptake reactions on tropospheric ozone and nitrogen species was studied using two chemical transport models, the Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-West European Monitoring Evaluation Programme (EMEP MSC-W) Centre Hamburg general circulation model combined with versions Aerosol Model for Ozone Related Tracers (ECHAM-HAMMOZ). Species undergoing in both models include N2O5, NO3, NO2, O3, HNO3, HO2. Since take place at aerosol surface area,...
Abstract. An intercomparison between 10 single-column (SCM) and 5 large-eddy simulation (LES) models is presented for a radiation fog case study inspired by the Local Non-local Fog Experiment (LANFEX) field campaign. Seven of SCMs represent equivalents operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, whilst three are research-grade designed simulation, LESs to reproduce in best manner currently possible underlying physical processes governing formation. The LES model results variable...
In the present paper a new method is introduced for numerical solution of stochastic collection equation in cloud models dealing with two-dimensional microphysics. The based on assumption that probability collision two drops only depends water mass each and not aerosol nuclei. With this it possible to reduce one-dimensional approach. First, particle spectrum integrated over yielding drop grid. For intermediate distribution solved. resulting redistributed into aerosol–water Numerical...
The area-preserving flux-form advection algorithm is extended to monotonicity. For this, the nonlinear positive-definite flux limitation of original approach replaced by new monotone limiters. fluxes are derived for one-dimensional constant transport velocities. deformation occurring in divergent flow accounted adding a correction term, which has been from upstream method. final applicable arbitrary multidimensional problems. However, due use time-splitting method, it strictly only uniform...

We present exact and approximate analytic expressions for the time-averaged electromagnetic energy within dielectric spheres on basis of rigorous Mie theory. Such information is importance study photochemical reactions atmospheric water spheres. Numerical results show that average inside a cloud droplet enlarged by factor exceeding 2 compared with sphere same radius surrounding medium. In regions resonance peaks may be increased more than orders magnitude.
Abstract Fog in complex terrain shows large temporal and spatial variations that can only be simulated with a three‐dimensional model, but more modifications than simply increasing the resolution are needed. For better representation of fog, we present second‐moment cloud water scheme parametrization Köhler theory which is combined mixed‐phase Ferrier microphysics scheme. The detailed PAFOG produce many differences to first‐moment responsible for typically low liquid content fog. inclusion...
Abstract An intensive observation period was conducted in September 2017 the central Namib, Namibia, as part of project Namib Fog Life Cycle Analysis (NaFoLiCA). The purpose field campaign to investigate spatial and temporal patterns coastal fog that occurs regularly during nighttime morning hours. is often linked advection a marine stratus intercepts with terrain up 100 km inland.

Fog and low-level clouds, namely stratus, are of major concern mainly due to theiradverse effects on transportation. Visibility is drastically reduced under theoccurrence fog conditions, thus affecting aviation road traffic. For example,fog causes many troubles scheduled flights, like cancelations or delays, whilecreating dangerous driving having significant socioeconomic impacts.Moreover, apart from transportation, clouds also affect theradiation budget, specifically at the...
