Global Aerosol Classification Based on Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and Satellite Observation
Remote Sensing, 2021 The particle linear depolarization ratio (PLDR) and single scatter albedo (SSA) in 1020 nm from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) level 2.0 dataset was utilized among 52 stations to identify dust and dust dominated aerosols (DD), pollution dominated ...

An assessment of methods for computing radiative forcing in climate models
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Because the radiative forcing is rarely computed separately when performing climate model simulations, several alternative methods have been developed to estimate both the instantaneous (or direct) forcing and the adjusted forcing.

Intercomparison of shortwave radiative transfer schemes in global aerosol modeling: results from the AeroCom Radiative Transfer Experiment [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 In this study we examine the performance of 31 global model radiative transfer schemes in cloud-free conditions with prescribed gaseous absorbers and no aerosols (Rayleigh atmosphere), with prescribed scattering-only aerosols, and with more absorbing ...

A framework to understand the transient climate response to emissions
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Global surface warming projections have been empirically connected to carbon emissions via a climate index defined as the transient climate response to emissions (TCRE), revealing that surface warming is nearly proportional to carbon emissions.

Future estimates of tropospheric ozone radiative forcing and methane turnover - the impact of climate change [PDF]
, 2000 We present a range of estimates for future radiative forcings due to changes in tropospheric ozone (O3T). Ozone distributions were generated by the UKMO 3-D chemistry-transport model for 1990, 2030, 2060, and 2100, using four sets of boundary conditions.

Implications of albedo changes following afforestation on the benefits of forests as carbon sinks [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2011 Increased carbon storage with afforestation leads to a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and thus decreases radiative forcing and cools the Earth.

Indirect long-term global radiative cooling from NOx emissions [PDF]
, 2001 Anthropogenic emissions of short‐lived, chemically reactive gases, such as NO x and CO, are known to influence climate by altering the chemistry of the global troposphere and thereby the abundance of the greenhouse gases O3, CH4 and the HFCs.

Systematic review of the impact of emissions from aviation on current and future climate [PDF]
, 2007 Aviation emissions have an impact on the global climate, and this is consequently an active area of research worldwide. By adapting replicable and transparent systematic review methods from the field of evidence-based medicine, we aim to synthesise ...

Radiative forcing and climate response [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1997 We examine the sensitivity of a climate model to a wide range of radiative forcings, including changes of solar irradiance, atmospheric CO2, O3, CFCs, clouds, aerosols, surface albedo, and a “ghost” forcing introduced at arbitrary heights, latitudes, longitudes, seasons, and times of day. We show that, in general, the climate response, specifically the
