Module atmos_sea_salt_mod

Change History: WebCVS Log


OVERVIEW

This module evaluates the change of mass mixing ratio of sea salt particles due to their emission at the ocean surface, and the removal by gravitational settling. The sea salt particles are transported as dry particles. Therefore, some conversion from wet to dry and vice-et-versa are consdered. The size distribution of sea salt ranges from 0.1 to 10 um (dry radius) and is divided into 5 bins. For each bin, the volume size distribution dV/dlnr is considered constant.
