- Abstract:
- A model has been developed to explore interaction between trace gases and aerosols and used to investigate laboratory and atmospheric systems: i) model and laboratory studies show coastal particle bursts result from formation of aspherical iodine oxide particles from I2 emitted by intertidal Laminaria kelps. ii) field project design yielded useable comparison data for modelling a) marine aerosol halogen cycling and b) aerosol evolution in polluted air. The latter identified limitations with e.g. assumed inorganic composition. It is proposed to extend the model and apply it to several problems: i) aspherical dynamics for use in the iodine oxide study, and in the formation of mesospheric smoke from the meteoric ablation products, ii) organic component inclusion with in-aerosol transformations, iii) halogen activation and aerosol pH (extension based on new cruise data).
