An analysis of four models predicting the partitioning of semivolatile inorganic aerosol components. Ansari, A., S. & Pandis, S., N. Aerosol Sci. Technol., 31:129-153, 1999. abstract bibtex A comparison is conducted between 3 atmospheric
equilibrium models: GFEMN, ISORROPIA, SCAPE2, and SEQUILIB. While
ISORROPIA, SCAPE2, and SEQUILIB simplify the problem at hand in an
effort to reduce computational rigor, GFEMN does not employ many of
the simplifying assumptions used in previous models, thus allowing
it to accurately predict multistage aerosol behavior and
deliquescence depression. We examine model performance for
representative atmospheric environments over an extended
composition, temperature, and RH domain and against observations in
Southern California. The predictions of GFEMN, ISORROPIA, SCAPE2,
and SEQUILIB are in general agreement, but the latter 3 do not
adequately reproduce multistage deliquescence behavior for
multicomponent systems. The most notable differences in model
predictions occur for H+ and aerosol water concentrations;
discrepancies in predictions of aerosol nitrate and total dry
inorganic Phl concentrations are not as significant. The models
predict different deliquescence relative humidities for
multicomponent systems, but for ammonia poor environments, these
discrepancies do not introduce differences in total dry inorganic
PM predictions. Against measurements taken during the Southern
California Air Quality Study (SCAQS), all models qualitatively
reproduce but generally underpredict aerosol nitrate
concentrations. Finally, based on its overall agreement with GFEMN
and its computational efficiency, ISORROPIA appears to be the model
of choice for use in large-scale aerosol transport models. In
places where crustal material comprises a significant portion of
total PM, SCAPE2 is an alternative.
