Abstract

We estimated the effects of the different aerosol climatologies in the COSMO mesoscale atmospheric model using long-term aerosol measurements and the accurate global solar irradiance observations at ground at the Moscow State University Meteorological Observatory (Russia) and Lindenberg Observatory (Germany) in clear sky conditions. The differences in aerosol properties have been detected especially during winter months. There is a better agreement of MACv2 aerosol climatology with measurements forMoscowconditions compared with Tegen aerosol climatology. However, we still have a systematical negative bias of about 2-3% in global solar irradiance at ground for both sites. A noticeable sensitivity of air temperature at2 metersto the net radiation changes of about1°Cper 100 Wm-2 due to aerosol has been evaluated, which approximately is around -0.2 – -0.3°C, when accounting for real aerosol properties.
