Abstract
The parameterization of aerosol-cloud interaction has been updated in the INMCM48 model by including the sulfate aerosol content. The impact of sulfate aerosol inclusion on the cloud droplet number concentration, cloud cover, net radiation at the top of the atmosphere, and cloud transmission of solar radiation is assessed. It is shown that including sulfate aerosol in the parameterization of the aerosol-cloud interaction allows us to correctly reproduce changes in cloud transmission from 1980 to 2005 in the INMCM48 model compared to the ERA-Interim reanalysis and the data from the solar radiation reconstruction model for several stations located in northern Eurasia, where strong changes in the content of sulfate aerosol are observed. According to preliminary estimates, the average global radiative forcing due to the aerosol indirect effect is -0.13 W/m(2) for 2005 relative to 1850.
