The purpose of this study is to estimate the regional radiative impact of Asian biomass burning aerosols during the experimental period of Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) in March, 2001. Integration of the Fifth-Generation NCAR / Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5), USA NOAA Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Transport model (HYSPLIT) and a solar radiative transfer model (CLIRAD-SW) allow us to simulate the spatial and temporal distributions of black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC) aerosols from biomass burning. It also allows us to estimate further their aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing. Emissions of BC and OC aerosols from biomass burning sources were based on a higher spatial and temportal resolution of emissions during TRACE-P.
The results show that the monthly mean surface concentration of OC and BC is 1.2 μg m-3 in the South Asian region (70o–110oE, 5o–30oN). Western Myanmar has the maximum value, with the concentration reaching 14.1 μg m-3. There is a persistent aerosol layer with a thickness of 3 km over most of the South Asian region, and the plumes of biomass burning aerosols extend far to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. The aerosol optical depth (AOD) of the biomass burning carbon aerosols reaches a maximum value of 0.14 over western Myanmar. Compared to the OC aerosol, the BC aerosol makes a remarkable contribution to the AOD, especially in the source region. The monthly mean clear-sky direct shortwave radiative forcing ranges from -1.81 (sea) to 1.08 (land) W m-2 at the top of the atmosphere and from -0.04 to -9.48 W m-2 at surface. The monthly mean all-sky direct shortwave radiative forcing ranges from -1.65 (sea) to 1.42 (land) W m-2 at the top of the atmosphere and from -0.03 to -9.06 W m-2 at surface. The existence of cloud contributes a positive increase of radiative forcing. Owing to the spatial distributions of the AOD ratio (OC/BC) and the surface albedo, there is a sea-land distribution of radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere.
Biomass burning aerosols result in less solar irradiance reaching the Earth’s surface, but greater heating in the lower atmosphere, particularly for the BC aerosols, which have stronger atmosphere radiative forcing and the atmospheric heating rate. The BC aerosols cause surface radiative forcing 5-7 times more than that due to the OC aerosols. The biomass burning aerosols result in an increase of the atmospheric heating rate up to 6ºC month-1 in lower atmosphere of the source region. There is a strong horizontal gradient of heating rate near the source regions, which may modify local circulations. We test the regional meteorological feedback due to biomass burning aerosol surface radiative forcing, and find that the surface temperature decreases 2ºC month-1 in the same region. Meanwhile, monthly sea level pressure and cloud mounts in the domain vary in -2.5－0.5 hPa and 20 %, respectively. The accumulate precipitation varies more than ± 500 mm in the southern Asia in March, 2001. The results imply the biomass burning aerosols have significant influences on the regional climate change. However, a more complete feedback mechanism included in the model is needed for a rationable investigation on how the radiative forcing affects the regional meteorological variations.
