To limit mean global warming to 2° C, a goal supported by more than 100 countries, it will
likely be necessary to reduce emissions not only of greenhouse gases but also of air …

Scientific interest in the climate effects of black carbon (BC) intensified with the publication of
Crutzen and Birks'(1) report dealing with the ejection of large amounts of smoke into the …

Black carbon is generated by fossil-fuel combustion and biomass burning. Black-carbon
aerosols absorb solar radiation, and are probably a major source of global warming …

Black carbon (BC) has an increased forcing per unit mass when it is located above reflective
clouds. To explore sensitivity of forcing to aerosol vertical location, we used a column …

Black carbon is derived largely from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, wood, and
biomass, as well as from certain industrial processes such as the production of carbon black …

Ice core measurements in conjunction with climate model simulations are of tremendous
value when examining anthropogenic and natural aerosol loads and their role in past and …

Black carbon in soot is the dominant absorber of visible solar radiation in the atmosphere.
Anthropogenic sources of black carbon, although distributed globally, are most concentrated …

Scientific understanding of the processes involving carbonaceous aerosols in atmosphere is
extremely important for both the climate and human health. This explains the increasing …

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 …

Black carbon (often called charcoal,'soot, elemental carbon, etc.) is one of the ubiquitous
materials circulating around the surface of the Earth. It is found in the air, soils, sediments …
