Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | We developed the Global Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP). The model simulates the global distribution and properties of aerosol particles from natural and anthropogenic (air pollution) sources from the timescale of hours through to several years. |
| Exploitation Route | The GLOMAP model is now used in the UK's Earth System Model to simulate the effects of aerosols on climate. The model has been very widely used to study natural aerosols (from soil dust, wildfires, marine sources) and the effects of air pollution on climate. Over 80 papers using the model have now been published and it has supported the PhD research projects of over 20 students. |

| Title | Global Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP) |
| Description | The Global Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP) is a global chemical transport model incorporating an aerosol chemistry and microphysics scheme. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2010 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | GLOMAP has now been incorporated in the HadGEM and UKESM models and will be used for submission to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. It has also been incorporated in the ECMWF-IFS model and the CSIRO air quality model. |
