Summary of Dry Deposition Parameterizationa

Item Formula Parameter Settings
Dry deposition velocity, Vd
Vd=Vg_S+1Ra+Rs
Vg_S=Vg(surface layer), sedimentation velocity at surface layer
Aerodynamic resistance, Ra Ra=z0zrψ(z)κμ*zdz, for ocean/sea ice; Ra for land from CESM1 Land model zr,center of model bottom layer;z0={0.001, ocean0.04, sea ice, roughness length;κ=0.4, Von Karman constant;μ*, friction velocity;ψ, stable function
Surface layer resistance, Rs
Rs=1ε0μ*R1(EB+EIM+EIN)
R1=1, fraction of particles that stick to the surface;
ε0=3, empirical constant
Brownian diffusion collection efficiency, EB
EB={Sc0.5, oceanSc2/3, land
Sc=vaDB,Schmidt nNumber;
va, Kinetic air viscosity;
DB, Brownian diffusivity
Impaction collection efficiency, EIM
EIM=(StSt+0.8)2
St=VgS*u*2gva, Stoke number
Interception efficiency, EIN
EIN=c[F(rr+A1)+(1F)(rr+A2)]
A1=1.e3 cm;A2=1.e1 cm;F=1%;c=1/3
