Interest in stratospheric aerosol and its role in climate have increased over the last decade
due to the observed increase in stratospheric aerosol since 2000 and the potential for …

Understanding natural causes of climate change is vital to evaluate the relative impacts of
human pollution and land surface modification on climate. We have investigated one of the …

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are warming the global climate at an
unprecedented rate. Significant emission reductions will be required soon to avoid a rapid …

We describe the historical evolution of the conceptualization, formulation, quantification,
application, and utilization of “radiative forcing”(RF) of Earth's climate. Basic theories of …

We conducted simulations of the atmospheric transformation and transport of the emissions
of the 1783–1784 Laki basaltic flood lava eruption (64.10° N, 17.15° W) using the NASA …

In terms of atmospheric impact, the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (1991) is the best
characterized large eruption on record. We investigate here the model-derived stratospheric …

This study examines the impact of historical land-cover change on North American surface
climate, focusing on the robustness of the climate signal with respect to representation of …

Accurately quantifying volcanic impacts on climate is a key requirement for robust attribution
of anthropogenic climate change. Here we use the Unified Model–United Kingdom …

Explosive volcanic eruptions are magnificent events that in many ways affect the Earth's
natural processes and climate. They cause sporadic perturbations of the planet's energy …

Ansmann, A., and Coauthors, 2011: Ash and fine-mode particle mass profiles from
EARLINET-AERONET observations over central Europe after the eruptions of the …
