Elemental-, equivalent black-and refractory black-carbon are terms that have been defined
in order to dissect the more general term, black carbon, into its component parts related to its …

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 …

The optical properties of airborne mineral dust depend on its mineralogy, size distribution,
and shape, and they might vary between different source regions. To date, large differences …

The large uncertainty in the mineral dust direct radiative effect (DRE) hinders projections of
future climate change due to anthropogenic activity. Resolving modeled dust mineral …

Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, affecting the radiation
balance, cloud properties, biogeochemical cycles, regional circulation and precipitation, as …

Snow cover plays a key role for sustaining ecology and society in mountainous regions.
