Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates how well the GEOS-Chem model simulates submicron aerosol concentrations in the remote atmosphere by comparing its outputs with airborne data from NASA's ATom missions.
- The model accurately reflects the prevalence of organic aerosols and sulfates across different seasons, but it shows a consistent high bias during Northern Hemisphere winter simulations.
- Updates to the model's wet scavenging processes lead to better alignment with observations and indicate that wet removal significantly impacts global aerosol lifetimes, which vary by season and aerosol type.
