Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the regional experiment around Japan, the NICAM-Chem model was able to successfully reproduce the transboundary air pollution detected by two geostationary satellites and ground-based observations. Subsequently, a global 14km high-resolution experiment was conducted to verify the aerosol reproducibility near the source and in the remote area such as Arctic. Based on the above, a simplified module for calculating the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) was introduced into NICAM-Chem. As a result, an anthropogenic SOA has a radiative forcing of -0.08 W m-2, which is consistent with the latest IPCC. In China, the surface aerosol concentrations increased, resulting in improved model underestimation. The SOA generated from biomass burning is -0.03 W m-2, which revealed that it was a component to be considered.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
PM2.5(微小エアロゾル)は代表的な大気汚染物質であり、人体への健康影響もあることから、大陸からの越境汚染の我が国への流入量を見積もることは、環境だけでなく社会問題であるとともに、温暖化を抑制可能な冷却効果を持つ気候にも影響しうる重要物質である。本研究を通じたモデル検証やモデル高度化によって、予測にまだ改善の余地がある我が国の大気汚染物質予測モデルに、本研究で開発したNICAM-Chemが加わる可能性が高まったとともに、本研究で行った全球規模で高度化されたエアロゾル計算実績によって、今後益々高精度な気候影響評価に繋がる可能性が高まった。
