Short summary

We conceptualized the aerosol radiative impact of an inline aerosol analysis field coupled with a global meteorological forecast system utilizing NAAPS and NAVGEM analysis and surface albedo fields. Model simulations were compared with in situ validation data collected during the NASA 2013 SEAC⁴RS experiment. Instantaneous heating rates peaked around 7 K day^-1 in the lower part of the troposphere, while the HSRL profiles resulted in values of up to 18 K day^-1 in the in the mid-troposphere.
