Short summary

The dynamic evolution and interactions of aerosols are first incorporated into the China Meteorological Administration Climate Prediction System version 4 (CMA-CPSv4). This paper evaluates the prediction system's simulation performance for aerosols. The results show that the CMA-CPSv4 reasonably simulates the spatial distribution of aerosols. The reasonable simulation of aerosols is fundamental for studying the impact of aerosols on climate prediction in our next work.
