Aerosol and Atmospheric Chemistry components¶
UKCA¶
The UK Chemistry-Aerosol model (UKCA) is a community atmospheric chemistry-aerosol global model developed in the United Kingdom. It is suitable for a range of topics in climate and environmental change research.
Models that use UKCA¶
- ACCESS-CM2 (optional).
GLOMAP¶
UKCA contains the GLObal Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP) aerosol scheme, that can also be used independently. The multi-component, multi-modal GLOMAP model allows simulation of aerosol number, size and concentrations of individual components such as sulphate, sea salt, and different types of carbon.
