Anthropogenic aerosols in the atmosphere undoubtedly influence climate . But do the approaches taken in climate models to account for the effects of aerosols provide meaningful estimates of those ...
on the hydrological cycle. While the cloud albedo enhancement (Twomey effect ) of warm clouds received most attention so far and traditionally is the only indirect aerosol forcing considered in transient climate ...
Since the ability of anthropogenic aerosols to act as ice nucleation particles has been recognized, the effect of anthropogenic aerosols on ice clouds has attracted increasing attentions. In recent ...
) but a strong remote effect (sub‐tropical aerosols increase cloudiness in the tropics), thus widening the concept of cloud adjustments to aerosol perturbation. IntroductionEarth's climate is changing (Masson ...
counterparts. Thus, the problem of how liquid clouds mediate aerosols effects on climate is a more tractable one. However, there is no a priori reason to think that mixed-phase and ice clouds are any less ...
, modification of cloud properties, and other indirect effects . The simulation model simulates the global climate on a grid and aerosol emissions from all major economic sectors as provided by the GAINS emission ...
. In this Review, we synthesize understanding of aerosol observations and their radiative and climate effects . Aerosols offset about one-third of the warming effect by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Yet, in regions ...
with radiation and clouds that are difficult to represent in climate models. This study proposes that aquaplanet configurations represent an idealized framework to investigate aerosol effects . As a simple ...
AbstractThe aerosol – cloud interactions due to black carbon (BC) aerosols , as well as the implied climate responses, are examined using an aerosol module in the coupled atmosphere–ocean general ...
) or ice nuclei and changing cloud albedo [ Twomey , ] and lifetime [ Albrecht , ]. Overall, these aerosol effects contribute a net negative climate forcing [ Penner et al. , ] and offset warming ...
