What you will learn in this Tutorial

Task 10.1: Output aerosol diagnostics

TASK 10.1: Output the following aerosol and radiation diagnostics to the UPA output stream. You should make a new time profile (called TRAD) to only output these on radiation timesteps. You will also need to make a new domain profile (called D3DAR) for s02i530 and s02i540.

Hint
You can find the number of radiation timesteps in a 24-hour period at: um $\rightarrow$ namelist $\rightarrow$ UM Science Settings $\rightarrow$ Section 01 - 02 Radiation $\rightarrow$ Shortwave.

and were given the hint

You can find the number of radiation timesteps in a 24-hour period at: um $\rightarrow$ namelist $\rightarrow$ UM Science Settings $\rightarrow$ Section 01 - 02 Radiation $\rightarrow$ Shortwave.

Task 10.2: Calculate aerosol optical depth

TASK 10.2: Calculate the aerosol optical depth at 0.55 microns.

Hint
The UM calculate optical depth diagnostics on 6 pseudo levels corresponding to 0.38, 0.44, 0.55, 0.67, 0.87, and 1.02 microns, therefore 0.55 microns is pseudo level 3.

Note: You will need to use the CLASSIC mineral dust optical depth diagnostic, as the configuration used in these tutorials does not use modal dust. Likewise, the insoluble accumulation and coarse mode diagnostics will be zero as these modes are not used in the configuration used here.

Python script

To calculate the total aerosol optical depth at 0.55 microns, you should sum up the contribution from the different aerosol components.

On ARCHER, an example python script to do this has been provided at /work/n02/n02/ukca/Tutorial/vn10.9/sample_output/Task10.2/write_AOD.py:

You should edit this script to point to your UM output file, and will need to

module load anaconda/2.2.0-python2

before running it, e.g.

python -c 'execfile("write_AOD.py")'

Solution to Task 10.2

0.55 micron AOD calculated from the component aerosol AOD diagnostics.

Sample output from this task can be found in the /work/n02/n02/ukca/Tutorial/vn10.9/sample_output/Task10.2/ directory on ARCHER, containing the following:

Task102_AOD.nc
write_AOD.py

Task 10.3: Calculate the single-scattering albedo

TASK 10.3: Calculate the single-scattering albedo at 0.55 microns, defined as:

$1-\left({\frac {\textrm {Absorption\ Aerosol\ Optical\ Depth}}{\textrm {Aerosol\ Optical\ Depth}}}\right)$

Python script

To calculate the single-scattering albedo at 0.55 microns, you should sum up the contribution to AAOD and AOD from the different aerosol components.

On ARCHER, an example python script to do this has been provided at /work/n02/n02/ukca/Tutorial/vn10.9/sample_output/Task10.3/write_SSA.py:

Task 10.4: Calculate the top of the atmosphere net downward radiative flux

TASK 10.4: Calculate the net downward top of the atmosphere radiative flux.

Python script

To calculate the net TOA downward radiative flux, you should sum up the outgoing contributions from shortwave and longwave radiation, and take this away from the incoming shortwave radiative flux.

On ARCHER, an example python script to do this has been provided at /work/n02/n02/ukca/Tutorial/vn10.9/sample_output/Task10.4/write_TOA.py:

Task 10.5: Calculate aerosol optical depth from the 3D aerosol extinction

TASK 10.5: Using the 3D aerosol extinction, calculate the 0.55 micron aerosol optical depth, and compare this to your AOD from Task10.2.

Hint
You will need to include contributions from both UKCA and CLASSIC (due to the dust scheme).
Remember to correctly calculate the grid-cell heights.

Python script

To calculate the AOD from the aerosol extinction, you will need to integrate this in the column. To do this you should first multiply by the height of each grid-cell before summing-up.

On ARCHER, an example python script to do this has been provided at /work/n02/n02/ukca/Tutorial/vn10.9/sample_output/Task10.5/calc_AOD.py:
