In this study the authors apply the chemistry version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-Chem) to examine the impacts of black carbon (BC)-induced changes in snow albedo on simulated tem-perature and precipitation during the severe snowstorm that occurred in southern China during 0800 26 January to 0800 29 January 2008 (Note that all times are local time except when otherwise stated).Black carbon aerosol was simulated online within the WRF-Chem.The model re-sults showed that surface-albedo,a...

1 IntroductionBlack carbon (BC) aerosol is an air pollutant that ab-sorbs solar radiation.The deposition of soot particles onsnow can reduce snow albedo and affect snowmelt (War-ren and Wiscombe, 1980, 1985; Hansen and Nazarenko,2004; Jacobson, 2004; Flan
