7 Supplementary Discussion As described in Methods (in the main manuscript), the BC concentration fields were scaled by a factor of 10 in all NCAR CESM simulations. The large natural variability associated with clouds makes it challenging to quantify the semi-direct aerosol effect in climate models. A scaling factor of 10 for BC has been used before 2 and was chosen here to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. Such scaling may, however, lead to inaccuracies due to non-linearities in the climate system. For this reason we have carried out two sensitivity simulations with BC scaled by factors of 2 and 50. Supplementary Figure 8 shows results from the sensitivity tests together with the STANDARD simulation, and these results show that the response in direct and semi-direct aerosol radiative forcing for BC is relatively linear with the scaling factor for BC. Supplementary Methods Treatment of black carbon in the models In the offline chemical transport model OsloCTM2, advection of gases and aerosols is calculated using the second-order moment method 3. Vertical mixing by convection is based on the Tiedtke mass flux scheme 4, while the Holtslag K-profile scheme 5 is used for turbulent mixing in the boundary layer. Treatment of carbonaceous aerosols is based on a simple bulk parameterization scheme 6, where black carbon (BC) is represented as four different species; fractions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic BC for each of fossil fuel and biomass burning BC. In the STANDARD simulation, emissions of BC are assumed to be 80% hydrophobic and 20% hydrophilic (Supplementary Table 1). To represent the process of oxidation or coating by a hydrophilic compound, the hydrophobic fraction of BC is gradually converted to hydrophilic BC after a given aging time. In contrast to Cooke et al. 6, where a single exponential lifetime was used, we use aging times that are dependent on latitude and season as introduced in ref. 7 (see their Table 1 and associated description) and based on simulations in ref. 8. Black carbon is removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. In the STANDARD simulation, only hydrophilic BC is removed by wet deposition while both hydrophobic and hydrophilic BC is removed by dry deposition 7-9. Wet deposition is the main removal mechanism for BC and in this version of OsloCTM2, all (100%) hydrophilic BC is removed for convective precipitation and for largescale water clouds, while 12% is removed for large-scale ice clouds 7. The default monthly year 2000 aerosol climatology in NCAR CESM1.0.4 was, for black carbon, replaced by results from OsloCTM2. Hence, the emissions, transport and removal of BC were treated in OsloCTM2, while impacts of BC on radiative forcing and climate were treated in the NCAR CESM1.0.4 climate model. As in OsloCTM2, BC in the climate model is represented by hydrophobic and hydrophilic components. Shortwave radiation is calculated once every model hour for 19 spectral bands using the δ-eddington approximation 10. The optics for black carbon are from the Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC) data set 11 and further details can be found in ref
8 Model experiments and emission scaling In this section, additional description of the OsloCTM2 and NCAR CESM model experiments is presented. Supplementary Table 1 gives an overview of the OsloCTM2 model experiments. The table includes the total global black carbon (BC) emissions in each experiment, and how the values for different properties affecting the BC lifetime, such as the aging time and wet removal of BC, have been modified in each of these experiments. The motivation for changing these properties is related to the strong indication from observations of an overestimated BC lifetime in most AeroCom models, including the OsloCTM2 (see Fig. 1 in main manuscript and associated discussion). In order to decrease the BC lifetime in OsloCTM2, there are only a limited number of parameters that can be changed. The governing parameters affecting the BC lifetime are related to the wet removal, more specifically the fraction of hydrophobic BC in emissions, the aging time from hydrophobic to hydrophilic BC, and the various fractions of BC removal in precipitating clouds. In the OsloCTM2 experiments listed in Supplementary Table 1, we tune these parameters in order for the BC concentration profiles to be better, albeit not perfectly, constrained by the aircraft observations. The BC emission data used in the STANDARD and perturbation simulations are shown in Supplementary Fig. 2, along with the regional scaling factors (Supplementary Fig. 2d) which were applied to the emissions in STANDARD to obtain the emission data used in the perturbation simulations. The scaling factors derived here are based roughly on the differences between observed and modelled BC absorption aerosol optical depth (AAOD) presented in Bond et al. 13 see their Figure 23 and associated discussion for a description of how the modelled BC direct climate forcing was adjusted to be consistent with the BC AAOD retrieved from AERONET stations. It should be noted that the scale factors applied here and in Bond et al. 13 are associated with large uncertainties, and the factors here are applied at a coarse resolution. In this study, the emission scaling factors have been applied equally throughout the year and for all BC emission sources. The NCAR CESM model experiments have used different prescribed BC concentration fields, and an overview of these experiments is given in Supplementary Table 3. 8
