Global indirect aerosol effects: a review
U Lohmann, J Feichter - Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2005 - acp.copernicus.org
Aerosols affect the climate system by changing cloud characteristics in many ways. They act
as cloud condensation and ice nuclei, they may inhibit freezing and they could have an …

Causes of higher climate sensitivity in CMIP6 models
Equilibrium climate sensitivity, the global surface temperature response to CO doubling, has
been persistently uncertain. Recent consensus places it likely within 1.5–4.5 K. Global …

Earth system modeling 2.0: A blueprint for models that learn from observations and targeted high‐resolution simulations
Climate projections continue to be marred by large uncertainties, which originate in
processes that need to be parameterized, such as clouds, convection, and ecosystems. But …
