| 英文摘要 | In this modelling study, the absorption influence on radiation, apart from scattering, is studied above the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean) under a typical warm 13-day period with northern winds, transporting polluted air masses. The simulated (WRF-Chem) forcing caused by the total absorption is estimated along with black carbon (BC), dust, and sea salt contributions, 1.3, 1.2, 0.1 and nearly zero W m−2, accordingly. As dust and sea salt influence is negligible, the main focus is on BC. BC absorption reduces downward shortwave irradiance reaching the ground by up to 5.2 W m−2 and the upward part by up to 1.7 W m−2. The downward and the upward longwave irradiances are augmented by up to 2.3 and 1.2 W m−2, accordingly. Even though the cloud formation is not favoured during the study period, BC absorption reduces overall the cloud water mixing ratio by 10% (semi-direct effect). However, during specific days and over limited cloudy areas, the semi-direct effect reduces low level clouds up to 20% while in case of higher clouds the reduction reaches up to ~29%. In order to examine the physical mechanisms below semi-direct effect, all modelled heating rates are analysed. Radiation direct absorption increases the air temperature with a rate up to 0.2 K day−1, with an exception inside the surface layer, where unexpectedly longwave cooling prevails. The heating of the surface layer is mainly attributed to the advection process, as more heated air masses are transported over the Aegean Sea. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd |
