Atmospheric heat transfer to surface

Hi,
Pardon me if this is a very basic question.

I am uncertain regarding whether the heat of the air mass near the surface, heated by any absorbing aerosol such as black carbon, or by any other meteorological phenomenon, get transferred to the surface? This would cause an increase in surface temperature.

I am aware that radiation changes caused by aerosols causes surface cooling, but not sure whether WRF/WRF-Chem includes the heat transfer through air mass.

I am sincerely thankful for any help in understanding this.

Neel
