Tropospheric anthropogenic aerosols contribute the second-largest forcing to climate
change, but with high uncertainty owing to their spatio-temporal variability and complicated …

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 …

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 …

Measurements and models show that enhanced aerosol concentrations can augment cloud
albedo not only by increasing total droplet cross-sectional area, but also by reducing …

The atmosphere interacts both with incoming as well as outgoing light. Two main processes
take place: light scattering and light absorption. Whereas light scattering redistributes any …

The authors have decomposed the anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing into direct
contributions from each aerosol species to the planetary energy balance through absorption …

Post-industrial increases in atmospheric black carbon (BC) have a large but uncertain
warming contribution to Earth's climate. Particle size and mixing state determine the solar …

To date, global models of direct radiative forcing have treated elemental carbon (EC) as
completely externally mixed or well‐mixed internally. No global study has treated EC as a …

The direct radiative forcing (DRF) of sulfate and black carbon (BC) aerosols is investigated
using a new multispectral radiation code within the R30 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics …

This study examines the short‐term (∼ 15 year) effects of controlling fossil‐fuel soot
(FS)(black carbon (BC), primary organic matter (POM), and S (IV)(H2SO4 (aq), HSO4−, and …
