Southern Africa produces a third of global biomass burning emissions, which have a long
atmospheric lifetime and influence regional radiation balance and climate. Here, we use …

Aerosol over the remote southeastern Atlantic is some of the most sunlight-absorbing
aerosol on the planet: the in situ free-tropospheric single-scattering albedo at the 530 nm …

The world is facing a serious warming crisis, highlighting the need for monitoring
greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2). In 2016, China launched its first satellite …

Smoke from southern Africa blankets the southeast Atlantic Ocean from June–October,
producing strong and competing aerosol radiative effects. Smoke effects on the transition …

This commentary paper from the recently formed International Global Atmospheric
Chemistry (IGAC) Southern Hemisphere Working Group outlines key issues in atmospheric …

Biomass burning (BB) is a major source of aerosols that remain the most uncertain
components of the global radiative forcing. Current global models have great difficulty …

Mineral dust contributes to more than half of the global aerosol loading. However, the
radiative impacts of dust aerosols on planetary boundary layer (PBL) structure have not …

Absorbing aerosols emitted from biomass burning (BB) greatly affect the radiation balance,
cloudiness, and circulation over tropical regions. Assessments of these impacts rely heavily …

Abstract Part 1 (Ryoo et al., 2021) provided a climatological overview of the ObsErvation of
Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS (ORACLES) period and assessed the …

High quality lidar measurements of PollyXT operating at the University of Warsaw in the
