Implication

Compares aerosol wet removal efficiency in different Community Earth System Model configurations, suggesting implications for climate and air quality.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate how different modeling frameworks affect aerosol wet removal efficiency and precipitation characteristics.
Contrast two configurations of CESM: CAM5-ZM and CAM5-MMF
Use embedded cloud-resolving models in CAM5-MMF
Analyze precipitation data against multi-satellite observations and simulations
CAM5-MMF captures rainfall frequency and intensity better than CAM5-ZM
Reduction in overestimated light precipitation frequency in CAM5-ZM
Improvements in precipitation models lead to aerosol lifetimes and removal rates that align with observed data
Higher burdens of black carbon and primary organic matter observed in improved simulations
