Short summary
The Model for Simulating Aerosol Interactions and Chemistry (MOSAIC) inorganic aerosol sub-model has been implemented in the Global Environmental Multiscale – Modeling Air Quality and Chemistry (GEM-MACH) air quality model. MOSAIC includes metal cation reactions and is a non-equilibrium, double-moment scheme that conserves aerosol number. Compared to the current aerosol sub-model, MOSAIC produces a more accurate size distribution and aerosol number concentration. It also improves the simulated nitrate and ammonium distribution. This work serves to expand the capacity of GEM-MACH for chemistry and weather coupling.
