Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

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 …

Anthropogenic aerosols exert a cooling influence that offsets part of the greenhouse gas
warming. Due to their short tropospheric lifetime of only several days, the aerosol forcing …

Clouds and aerosols continue to contribute the largest uncertainty to estimates and
interpretations of the Earth's changing energy budget. This chapter focuses on process …

介绍了2006 年新立项的国家重点基础研究发展计划项目“中国大气气溶胶及其气候效应的研究”

We report on the AeroCom Phase II direct aerosol effect (DAE) experiment where 16
detailed global aerosol models have been used to simulate the changes in the aerosol …

This study presents the results of a broad intercomparison of a total of 15 global aerosol
models within the AeroCom project. Each model is compared to observations related to …

Black carbon in soot is the dominant absorber of visible solar radiation in the atmosphere.
Anthropogenic sources of black carbon, although distributed globally, are most concentrated …

By Nicholas Stern* quickly as possible, because policy decisions are both urgent and
moving quickly—particularly following the recent United Nations Framework Convention on …

Proven by multiple theoretical and practical studies, multi-angular spectral polarimetry is
ideal for comprehensive retrieval of properties of aerosols. Furthermore, a large number of …
