英文摘要Five parameterizations of cloud droplet spectral shape are implemented in a global climate model to investigate the dispersion effect and aerosol indirect effect (AIE). We design a series of experiments by modifying the microphysical cloud scheme of NCAR CAM5.3 (National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmosphere Model Version 5.3). We employ four empirical (Martin94, RLiu03, PengL03, and Liu08) and one semi-analytical (LiuLi15) expressions for cloud droplet spectral shape parameters. Analysis focuses on the instantaneous differences in the simulated cloud microphysical properties and the comparison between model output and satellite data. The results show that RLiu03, PengL03, and LiuLi15 produce wider droplet spectrum and faster autoconversion rate, but Liu08 has a narrower droplet spectrum and slower autoconversion rate than the default parameterization (Martin94) in CAM5.3. Global dispersion effects caused by the five parameterizations modify the aerosol indirect effect by -10% (counteract) to 13% (strengthen). The simulated AIEs and dispersion effects exhibit noticeably spatial inhomogeneity. In the sensitive regions of AIE (Southeast Asia, North Pacific, and West Coast of South America), we decompose the response of shortwave cloud forcing to the change in droplet number for analysis. The varying dispersion effects can be explained by different responses of cloud properties in different spectral parameterizations. Plain Language Summary Increase of air pollution modifies the water cloud droplet size spectrum and further impacts on cloud physical properties, precipitation, and energy budget in atmosphere. We applied four empirical and one semi-analytical schemes for calculating cloud droplet spectral shape parameters in a global climate model. The five spectral schemes have different impacts on cloud physical properties but have limited effects on global atmospheric energy and on total precipitation. The model simulated changes in cloud properties and in atmospheric energy are analyzed in detail, helping to understand the physical mechanism of the five spectral schemes.
