Black carbon aerosols absorb solar radiation and decrease planetary albedo, and thus can
contribute to climate warming. In this paper, the dependence of equilibrium climate response …

The climate response to the presence of black carbon (BC) aerosol at a given altitude in the
atmosphere is investigated using a global circulation model. The vertical dependence of the …

Black carbon (BC) aerosols strongly absorb solar radiation, but their effective radiative
forcing and impacts on regional climate remain highly uncertain owing to strong feedbacks …

A three‐dimensional interactive aerosol‐climate model has been developed and used to
study the climatic impact of black carbon (BC) aerosols. When compared with the model's …

The equilibrium climate effect of direct radiative forcing of anthropogenic black carbon (BC)
is examined by 100‐year simulations in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies General …

We investigate the climate response to increased concentrations of black carbon (BC), as
part of the Precipitation Driver Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP). A …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

Past research has shown that the dominant influence on recent global climate changes is
from anthropogenic greenhouse gas increases with implications for future increases in …

Soot and smoke aerosol contain black carbon, which absorbs solar radiation. These
aerosols may reduce the overall negative climate forcing of anthropogenic aerosols by …

Carbonaceous aerosols affect the global radiative balance by absorbing and scattering
radiation, which leads to warming or cooling of the atmosphere, respectively. Black carbon is …
