Impact of future climate policy scenarios on air quality and aerosol-cloud interactions using an advanced version of CESM/CAM5: Part I. model evaluation for the current decadal simulations
CESM-NCSU provides a reasonable representation of the current atmosphere. Aerosol-cloud interactions are well simulated in CESM-NCSU. Biases in chemical predictions are due to inaccurate emissions, mixing, deposition, and POA volatility.
