Aerosols interact with radiation and clouds. Substantial progress made over the past 40
years in observing, understanding, and modeling these processes helped quantify the …

Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

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 …

Cloud drop condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) particles determine to a large
extent cloud microstructure and, consequently, cloud albedo and the dynamic response of …

Emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and of reactive gases such as sulphur
dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, which lead to the formation of …

It is thought that changes in the concentration of cloud-active aerosol can alter the
precipitation efficiency of clouds, thereby changing cloud amount and, hence, the radiative …

Absorbing aerosols (AAs) such as black carbon (BC) or dust absorb incoming solar
radiation, perturb the temperature structure of the atmosphere, and influence cloud cover …

Aerosols alter cloud density and the radiative balance of the atmosphere. This leads to
changes in cloud microphysics and atmospheric stability, which can either suppress or foster …

Aerosol emissions from biomass burning are of specific interest over the globe due to their
strong radiative impacts and climate implications. The present study examines the impact of …

Increasing wildfire activity in recent decades, partially related to extended droughts, along
with concern over potential impacts of future climate change on fire activity has resulted in …
