Scattering and absorbing aerosols in the climate system
Tropospheric anthropogenic aerosols contribute the second-largest forcing to climate
change, but with high uncertainty owing to their spatio-temporal variability and complicated …

Chemistry and the linkages between air quality and climate change
Climate change and air pollution are critical environmental issues both in the here and now
and for the coming decades. A recent OECD report found that unless action is taken, air …

Short-Lived Climate Forcers (Chapter 6)
Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

Biomass burning aerosols in most climate models are too absorbing
Uncertainty in the representation of biomass burning (BB) aerosol composition and optical
properties in climate models contributes to a range in modeled aerosol effects on incoming …
