This study provides estimates of photovoltaic (PV) panel optimal tilt angles for all countries
worldwide. It then estimates the incident solar radiation normal to either tracked or optimally …

Aerosol variations and trends over different land and ocean regions from 1980 to 2009 are
analyzed with the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model …

Global lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to changes in the
anthropogenic activities resulting in perceivable air quality improvements. Although several …

The unintended climatic implications of aerosol and precursor emission reductions
implemented to protect public health are poorly understood. We investigate the precipitation …

Abstract The United States' warming hole'is a region in the southeast/central US where
observed long-term surface temperature trends are insignificant or negative. We investigate …

An increasing trend in surface solar radiation (solar brightening) has been observed over
Europe since the 1990s, linked to economic developments and air pollution regulations and …

Abstract The impact of North American and European (NAEU) anthropogenic aerosol
emissions on Eurasian summer climate during the twentieth century is studied using …

This paper presents the climatology and changes in atmospheric visibility (AV) in China
during 1980–2017 based on adjusted data from an extended station network. The …

Surface solar radiation is fundamental for terrestrial life. It provides warmth to make our
planet habitable, drives atmospheric circulation, the hydrological cycle and photosynthesis …

Abstract The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on board the Geostationary Operational
