Estimating Direct and Indirect Effects
Two simulations:
1. All aerosol sources
2. All sources except anthropogenic sulfate
Each simulation calculates radiative fluxes with (Faer) and without aerosol (Fnoaer).

Estimating Direct and Indirect Effects
Two simulations:

2. All sources except anthropogenic sulfate
Each simulation calculates radiative fluxes with (Faer) and without aerosol (Fnoaer).
Direct effect of all aerosol in a simulation is
Fdirect = Faer -Fnoaer.

Conclusions
• The much larger indirect effect produced by CAM has not been completely explained.
• The much larger feedback of liquid water path explains at least part of larger indirect effect.
• The larger relative sensitivity of CCN to emissions in CAM may also contribute.
• The CAM CCN and IE are insensitive to the size distribution of OC and volcanic.
• A background aerosol reduces the IE from CAM, but cannot be justified.

Future Work
• Resolve differences between CAM and MIRAGE: insert monthly mean aerosol from each model into simulations by the other.
• Add detrainment of droplet number from cumulus.• Integrate with UW turbulence and shallow cumulus
schemes.• Couple with MIRAGE treatment of aerosol dynamics and
mixing state.• Add nucleation scavenging and size-dependent impaction
scavenging.• Size and composition dependent optical properties.• Add primary and secondary marine organic emissions.
