Our world is vulnerable to climate change risks such as glacier retreat, rising temperatures,
more variable and intense weather events (eg, floods, droughts, and frosts), deteriorating …

As a representative site of the southern African biomass‐burning region, sun‐sky data from
the 15 year Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) deployment at Mongu, Zambia, was …

Atmospheric aerosol scatters solar radiation increasing the fraction of diffuse radiation and
the efficiency of photosynthesis. We quantify the impacts of biomass burning aerosol (BBA) …

Accurate information about aerosol vertical distribution is needed to reduce uncertainties in
aerosol radiative forcing and its effect on atmospheric dynamics. The present study deals …

Intra-seasonal variability of smoke aerosol optical depth (AOD) and downwelling solar
irradiance at the surface during the 2002 biomass burning season in South America was …

Biomass burning is an important and uncertain source of aerosols and NO x (NO+ NO 2) to
the atmosphere. Satellite observations of tropospheric NO 2 are essential for characterizing …

The co-transport of aerosol particles and water vapor has long been noted in the literature,
with a myriad of implications such as air mass characterization, radiative transfer, and data …

The 2020 biomass burning season in Brazil was marked by an atypical amount of fire across
the Pantanal biome, which led to high levels of smoke within the biome and downwind …

Cirrus clouds remain one of the key uncertainties in atmospheric research. To better
understand the properties and physical processes of cirrus clouds, accurate large-scale …

In vegetation canopies with complex architectures, diffuse solar radiation can enhance
carbon assimilation through photosynthesis because isotropic light is able to reach deeper …
