Southern Asia, extending from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Indonesia and Papua New
Guinea, is one of the most heavily populated regions of the world. Biofuel and biomass …

Coarse mineral dust (diameter,≥ 5 μm) is an important component of the Earth system that
affects clouds, ocean ecosystems, and climate. Despite their significance, climate models …

The main objective of this study is to investigate the formation and evolution mechanism of
the regional haze in megacity Beijing by analyzing the process of a severe haze that …

The presence of clear coatings on atmospheric black carbon (BC) particles is known to
enhance the magnitude of light absorption by the BC cores. Based on calculations using …

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 …

The study uses satellite observations, global assimilated aerosol data sets, Atmospheric
Brown Clouds (ABC) observatories, a Monte Carlo aerosol‐cloud‐radiation model and a …

Speciated aerosol composition data from the rural Interagency Monitoring for Protected
Visual Environments (IMPROVE) network and the Environmental Protection Agency's …

We performed a survey of ground‐based estimates of aerosol mass scattering efficiencies
(αsp, m2 g− 1) for various aerosol species and size modes from peer‐reviewed literature …

Atmospheric deposition of total organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC) is lacking or not
fully accounted in most current models of the global carbon cycling, specially those fluxes …

This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of how aerosols form in the atmosphere
through in situ processes as well as via transport from the surface (dust storms, seas spray …
