Objective:
In this project we will evaluate and rank sources of uncertainty in modeling BC concentrations and their radiative impacts. The uncertainties analyzed will include those associated with model parameters as well as model structure. We will use this information to improve model representation of BC distributions. We will reduce the uncertainties in BC distributions and radiative impacts through the close integration of observations and models. We will evaluate the uncertainties using novel metrics developed in this project, that will reflect competing effects of co-pollutants and that account for air quality and climate impacts.
