Abstract:

The simulation results the radiative forcing of smoke aerosol (RFA) at the boundaries of the atmosphere are considered depending on the photochemical evolution of its organic component, illumination conditions, and underlying surface types (water, mixed forest, and snow/ice). An increase in the albedo of the underlying surface and a decrease in the aerosol optical depth can lead to the transformation of the cooling effect into heating at the top of the atmosphere. An increase in the absorbency of aerosol particles is the cause of an increase in RFA at the top of the atmosphere, which is most significant over snow/ice surfaces, while at the bottom of the atmosphere, RFA decreases. As the solar zenith angle increases, the absolute value of RFA decreases as the smoke plume propagates over weakly reflecting surfaces, but with an increase in the albedo of the underlying surface, this dependence transforms into a nonmonotonic one. It is shown that neglecting the transformations of the optical characteristics of organic aerosol can lead to overestimation or underestimation of the radiative forcing of the aerosol at the top of the atmosphere by several times (by several tens of W/m2), and also cause an error in determining the RFA sign.
