• No bins or modes • Particles as vectors • Treating multidimensional size distribution

Why Particle-Resolved Aerosol Models?
Advantages: • Efficient representation of multidimensional size distribution • Advantageous whenever the per-particle-composition
(= “mixing state”) is of interest: No assumptions about mixing state are needed.
Disadvantage: Expensive to run • Each particle costs the same as one section or mode. • Need 1,000 to 100,000 particles

Summary and Outlook
Particle-resolved model PartMC-MOSAIC as a way to model multidimensional aerosol size distributions without a priori assumptions about mixing state.
Going beyond the box: Current efforts focus on
coupling PartMC-MOSAIC to a 1D version of WRF.
Next steps: Investigate interaction of transport and aerosol microphysics and chemistry • Aerosol aging, spatially resolved • Quantifying mixing state effects on aerosol radiative impacts • Connecting to field measurements • Extension to 3D
