Aerosols are a critical factor in the atmospheric hydrological cycle and radiation budget. As a
major agent for clouds to form and a significant attenuator of solar radiation, aerosols affect …

Mineral dust aerosols, the tiny soil particles suspended in the atmosphere, have a key role in
the atmospheric radiation budget and hydrological cycle through their radiative and cloud …

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 pressures on the Earth System have reached a scale where abrupt global
environmental change can no longer be excluded. We propose a new approach to global …

The growing problem of changing environmental conditions caused by climate
destabilization is well recognized as one of the defining issues of our time. The root problem …

Emissions of exhaust gases and particles from oceangoing ships are a significant and
growing contributor to the total emissions from the transportation sector. We present an …

Aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) are considered to be the most uncertain driver of present-
day radiative forcing due to human activities. The non-linearity of cloud-state changes to …

The cloud invigoration effect refers here to the link between an increase in aerosol loading
and deepening of convective clouds. The effect can be reflected also in a larger cloud …

A reliable and up-to-date ship emission inventory is essential for atmospheric scientists
quantifying the impact of shipping and for policy makers implementing regulations and …
