Evidence for alteration of ice clouds by aircraft emissions
• Soot associated with increasing ice concentrations in regions of enhanced soot most probably due to aircraft (Ström and Ohlsson, 1998)
• Trend difference in high clouds observed over regions with Computed Contrail cover > 0.5% was 3.5%/decade (land) and 1.6%/decade (ocean) between 1984 and1990 (ISCCP data) (Fahey and Schumann et al. (2001))
• Model results:– Jensen and Toon [1997]– Lohmann [2000]

Mechanisms forming ice clouds
• Homogeneous nucleation– Jhaze = Jw(Teff); Teff= T+Tm
• Deposition nucleation– Js

2i/v3]/[3(RTiln Sv,i)2]f(mi,v,x); mi,v =0.9
– or: Meyer’s empirical formulation: • Nid=exp{a+b[100(RHi-1]}
• Immersion nucleation– Js

• Contact nucleation

Parameterization for homogeneous ice formation
• T ≥ 6.07 ln w - 55.0 (fast growth; high T low w):
– Ni=min{exp(a2+b2T+c2lnw)Naa1+b1T+c1lnw , Na}
• T<6.07 ln w - 55.0 (slow growth; low T high w):
– Ni=min{exp(a4+(b4+b5lnw) T+c4lnw)Naa3+b3T+c3lnw , Na}

Homogeneous + deposition nucleation
• Lower updraft velocities and higher temperatures=> deposition nucleation only:– Threshold: T 14.387 ln(w) - 18.825; and w 0.3
m/s
– Si (%) = a T + b;
– where a and b are a function of w
– Use with Meyer’s (1992) parameterization
• Use homogeneous parameterization at higher updrafts and lower temperatures
![Page 8: Potential alteration of ice clouds by aircraft soot](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568159e3550346895dc72ee9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Homogeneous, deposition, and immersion freezing
• Threshold temperature for immersion, deposition freezing: – T a ln(w) + b– a, b are functions of the number of soot particles Ns
• Immersion freezing:– Ni,s=min{exp(a22)Ns
b22exp(bT)wc, Ns}– b, c are functions of ln Ns
• Deposition freezing:– Maximum supersaturation; Si
max(%) = A T2 + BT + C – A, B, C are functions of w– Number of ice crystals from Meyer’s (1992) parameterization for deposition
• Use homogeneous parameterization at lower T

IMPACT/DAO
• Uses NASA DAO 1997 meteorological fields
• Uses IPCC-recommended emissions inventories except for dust (from Ginoux for 1997 DAO winds)
• Emissions put into BL for dust and biomass burning
• Wet scavenging as in Harvard GEOS-CHEM model except that large scale scavenging uses 0.5 g/m3 for LWC
• Dry deposition as in Zhang, Gong et al. [AE, 2001]
![Page 12: Potential alteration of ice clouds by aircraft soot](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051419/568159e3550346895dc72ee9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Unique features
• DAO version has improved LWC for sulfate chemistry
• GMI model is based on IMPACT
• We can compare these results with more than one set of meteorological fields:
– IMPACT/DAO=GMI/DAO– GMI/MACCCM3– GMI/GISSII’

Conclusion
• An initial assessment of the potential impact of aircraft emissions on ice concentrations indicates significant increases (O˜100%) in zonal mean concentrations near flight corridors
• Better quantification requires a better simulation of upper tropospheric humidity together with full representation of all aerosol types and their mode of nucleation
