The present paper reviews existing knowledge with regard to Organic Aerosol (OA) of
importance for global climate modelling and defines critical gaps needed to reduce the …

This paper reviews the many developments in estimates of the direct and indirect global
annual mean radiative forcing due to present‐day concentrations of anthropogenic …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

The optical properties of the light-absorbing, carbonaceous substance often called
“soot,”“black carbon,” or “carbon black" have been the subject of some debate. These …

We present a global tabulation of black carbon (BC) and primary organic carbon (OC)
particles emitted from combustion. We include emissions from fossil fuels, biofuels, open …

Aerosols affect the Earth's temperature and climate by altering the radiative properties of the
atmosphere. A large positive component of this radiative forcing from aerosols is due to …

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report is the most
comprehensive assessment available on the effects of aviation on the global atmosphere …

The diesel engine is the most efficient prime mover commonly available today. Diesel
engines move a large portion of the world's goods, power much of the world's equipment …

The global distribution of carbonaceous aerosols is simulated online in the Goddard Institute
for Space Studies General Circulation Model II‐prime (GISS GCM II‐prime). Prognostic …

Absorption by light‐absorbing carbon (LAC) particles increases when the carbon is mixed
with other material, and this change affects climate forcing. We investigate this increase …
