[RegCNET] RegCM-Aerosol

[Ashraf Zakey]

Dear Prodromos ,

      Thanks for your reply.  Did you mean you have some work with  
modeling of tropospheric ozone?  As matter of fact, we are working to 
include complex gas-phase chemistry  in RegCM.  We are interested to see 
the impact of  tropospheric ozone on regional climate scale . Me and 
Dr.  Steiner from University of Michigan and others working in this 
research line and we applied to get some fund for this purpose.  If any 
one from the group has any other idea, we will welcome his 
contribution.  Aslo, Dr. Fabien Solmon  , me and others working to 
improve the chemistry model in RegCM.

    Did you started your project on "Use of a Regional climate model 
coupled with aerosols to study the climate feedback of aerosols on 
Eastern Mediterranean Climate " ? If you started to have some results 
and validation we can think together with the aerosol group to arrange 
for one special issue for aerosol publication.  What do you think?


Best wishes
Ashraf
