Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

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 …

Global lockdown measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19) led to air pollutant emission reductions. While the COVID-19 lockdown impacts on both …

Black carbon aerosol has received much more attention as the most light-absorbing aerosol
in recent years. The accuracy, traceability and comparability of its optical measurements …

Particulate black carbon (BC) affects global warming by absorbing the solar radiation, by
affecting cloud formation, and by decreasing ground albedo when deposited to snow or ice …

Atmospheric iron (Fe) from anthropogenic, lithogenic, and pyrogenic sources contributes to
ocean fertilization, climate change, and human health risk. However, significant …

Aerosols continue to contribute the largest uncertainty in climate change. Over Asia, a global
aerosol hotspot, spatial patterns of aerosol emissions are changing mainly because of …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and its surrounding areas are undergoing rapid
changes in socioeconomic conditions, activity sectors, and emission levels. These changes …

Long-term measurements of atmospheric mass concentrations of black carbon (BC) are
needed to investigate changes in its emission, transport, and deposition. However …

A tighter integration of modeling frameworks for climate and air quality is urgently needed to
assess the impacts of clean air policies on future Arctic and global climate. We combined a …
