CURRENT VERSION BASED ON GEOS-Chem OUTPUT

If external mixing and spherical particles are
assumed:
Mie parameters averaged over size distributions may be pre-tabulated as a function of RH, and then used to calculate e.g. AOD at each time step and grid cell:

INTERNAL MIXING OPTIONS
homogeneous mixing core/shell mixing
Species 1
Species 2
Species N . . .
Species combine in a new size distribution at each time step and grid cell
Distribution average Mie parameters are not useful anymore
Radius-by-radius calculations using Mie parameters tabulated as a function of size and refractive index(CPU time x 10 w.r.t. external mixing)

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
• Complete debugging and release version with internal mixing option and AERONET-like output
• Extension to sectional and modal aerosol models
• Definition of a general input format. Also useful to input idealized profiles
• Continued implementation of more flexible input/output options
