Comparisons between the HIAPER Pole-to-Pole Observations (HIPPO; black) and GEOS-Chem model simulations with a fixed BC aging scheme (blue), and a microphysics-based aging scheme (red). Median vertical profiles of observations and model results are averaged over different latitudinal bins. Shaded areas are observational variabilities and aging-related model uncertainties.
