Abstract. Coupled Chemistry Aerosol-Tracer Transport model to the Brazilian developments on Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CCATT-BRAMS, version 4.5) is an on-line regional chemical transport designed for local and studies of atmospheric chemistry from surface lower stratosphere suitable both operational research purposes. It includes gaseous/aqueous chemistry, photochemistry, scavenging dry deposition. The CCATT-BRAMS takes advantage BRAMS-specific development tropics/subtropics as...

Abstract. We present a new version of the Brazilian developments on Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS), in which different previous versions for weather, chemistry, and carbon cycle were unified single integrated modeling system software. This also has set state-of-the-art physical parameterizations greater computational parallel memory usage efficiency. The description main model features includes several examples illustrating quality transport scheme scalars, radiative fluxes...

Abstract. Intra-seasonal variability of smoke aerosol optical depth (AOD) and downwelling solar irradiance at the surface during 2002 biomass burning season in South America was modeled using Coupled Chemistry-Aerosol-Tracers Transport model with Brazilian developments on Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CCATT-BRAMS). Measurements total fine mode fraction (FMF) AOD from AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) Solar Radiation Network (SolRad-NET) were used to evaluate results. In general,...

This paper presents an analysis of ground‐based Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) observations by the Robotic Network (AERONET) in South America from 2001 to 2007 comparison with satellite AOD product Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), aboard TERRA and AQUA satellites. Data 12 observation sites were used primary interest AERONET located or downwind areas high biomass burning activity measurements available for full time range. Fires cause predominant carbonaceous aerosol...
