abstract = "We introduce the Coupled Aerosol and Tracer Transport model to the
Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System
(CATT-BRAMS). CATT-BRAMS is an on-line transport model fully
consistent with the simulated atmospheric dynamics. Emission
sources from biomass burning and urban-industrial-vehicular
activities for trace gases and from biomass burning aerosol
particles are obtained from several published datasets and remote
sensing information. The tracer and aerosol mass concentration
prognostics include the effects of sub-grid scale turbulence in
the planetary boundary layer, convective transport by shallow and
deep moist convection, wet and dry deposition, and plume rise
associated with vegetation fires in addition to the grid scale
transport. The radiation parameterization takes into account the
interaction between the simulated biomass burning aerosol
particles and short and long wave radiation. The atmospheric model
BRAMS is based on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS),
with several improvements associated with cumulus convection
representation, soil moisture initialization and surface scheme
tuned for the tropics, among others. In this paper the CATT-BRAMS
model is used to simulate carbon monoxide and particulate material
(PM2.5) surface fluxes and atmospheric transport during the 2002
LBA field campaigns, conducted during the transition from the dry
to wet season in the southwest Amazon Basin. Model evaluation is
addressed with comparisons between model results and near surface,
radiosondes and airborne measurements performed during the field
campaign, as well as remote sensing derived products. We show the
matching of emissions strengths to observed carbon monoxide in the
LBA campaign. A relatively good comparison to the MOPITT data, in
spite of the fact that MOPITT a priori assumptions imply several
difficulties, is also obtained.",
