Attribution of the impacts of the 2008 flooding in Cedar Rapids (Iowa) to anthropogenic forcing
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 The City of Cedar Rapids was significantly affected by the June 2008 flood. However, little is known about the role anthropogenic warming during this event, not only in terms of hydrologic response but also of impacts.

Possible influence of anthropogenic aerosols on cirrus clouds and anthropogenic forcing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 Cirrus clouds have a net warming effect on the atmosphere and cover about 30% of the Earth's area. Aerosol particles initiate ice formation in the upper troposphere through modes of action that include homogeneous freezing of solution droplets ...

The contribution of global aviation to anthropogenic climate forcing for 2000 to 2018 [PDF]
Atmospheric Environment, 2020 Global aviation operations contribute to anthropogenic climate change via a complex set of processes that lead to a net surface warming. Of importance are aviation emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), water vapor, soot and sulfate ...

Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing: Positive Feedbacks [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018 This article is based on recent work intended to estimate the impact of solar forcing mediated by long-period ocean Rossby waves that are resonantly forced—the ‘Gyral Rossby Waves’ (GRWs).

Hemisphere-asymmetric tropical cyclones response to anthropogenic aerosol forcing [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 How anthropogenic forcing could change tropical cyclones (TCs) is a keen societal concern owing to its significant socio-economic impacts. However, a global picture of the anthropogenic aerosol effect on TCs has not yet emerged.

Topological Climate Change and Anthropogenic Forcing
The Atrium (University of Guelph), 2019 The mathematical theory of bifurcation is applied to an energy balance model of the Earth’s climate. Bifurcation theory explains how nonlinear systems can exhibit drastically different solutions when certain parameters, though varied gradually, cause ...

Impact attribution of anthropogenic forcing on lake surface temperature. [PDF]
Nat CommunGlobal lakes are important sources of freshwater, supporting biodiversity and providing vital ecosystem services. While widespread lake surface warming has been well-documented, formal attribution of this trend to specific anthropogenic drivers has remained out of reach.

Robust evidence for reversal of the trend in aerosol effective climate forcing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Anthropogenic aerosols exert a cooling influence that offsets part of the greenhouse gas warming. Due to their short tropospheric lifetime of only several days, the aerosol forcing responds quickly to emissions. Here, we present and discuss the evolution

Evaluating uncertainty in aerosol forcing of tropical precipitation shifts [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 An observed southward shift in tropical rainfall over land between 1950 and 1985, followed by a weaker recovery post-1985, has been attributed to anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing and cooling of the Northern Hemisphere relative to the Southern ...
