Seasonal and spatial variations of global aerosol optical depth: multi-year modelling with GEOS-Chem-APM and comparisons with multiple-platform observations

Recent AeroCom phase II experiments showed a large diversity in aerosol optical depth (AOD) among 16 detailed global aerosol models, which contributes to the large uncertainty in the predicted aerosol radiative forcing. The GEOS-Chem-APM, a global size-resolved aerosol model, can be considered as a...
