Black carbon mixing state resolved global aerosol simulations

A new aerosol model that can express the mixed state of BC was developed and implemented in CAM5.
1) We used the stand-alone version of CAM5 (FC5 compset) in the Community Earth System Model (CESM) version 1.2.0 with present day climatological data (1982–2001) for sea surface temperature and sea ice.
2) We used anthropogenic, biomass burning, and biogenic emissions for the year 2000 [Lamarque et al., 2010] and online emissions of dust [Zender et al., 2003; Albani et al., 2014; Kok, 2011] and sea salt [Martensson et al., 2003; Monahan et al., 1986].
3) The simulations were conducted with 12 size and 8 black carbon mixing state bins.
