Fig. 4: Comparison of AOPs predicted by MieAI against those estimated using Mie theory for coarse mode internally mixed aerosol particles at an altitude of 5 km above sea level in ICON-ART simulation of a dust event over central Europe.

Here, left column (a, d, g, j) shows the AOPs estimated using Mie theory, middle column (b, e, h, k) shows the same predicted from MieAI and right column (c, f, i, l) shows the relative error of MieAI AOPs prediction against Mie calculations. m The geographical distribution of the aerosol median diameter simulated using ICON-ART, whereas (n) shows the geographical variation of shell thickness, as a fraction of the total particle diameter (in percentage), of the coated aerosol.
