Abstract
We carry out high-resolution idealized tropical simulations in a general circulation model with interactive aerosol microphysics to investigate aerosol variations relevant to operational weather forecasting and convection permitting sub-climate scales. We quantify the temporal and spatial variations in aerosol properties. The aerosol structure is driven by aerosol microphysics processes and dynamical processes which influence aerosol properties, emission and transport on scales not resolved by climate models.
