Natural aerosol direct and indirect radiative effects

[1] Natural aerosol plays a significant role in the Earth’s system due to its ability to alter the radiative balance of the Earth. Here we use a global aerosol microphysics model together with a radiative transfer model to estimate radiative effects for five natural aerosol sources in the present-day atmosphere: dimethyl sulfide (DMS), sea-salt, volcanoes, monoterpenes, and wildfires. We calcul...

Detecting Cryptic Indirect Genetic Effects

Indirect genetic effects (IGEs) occur when genes expressed in one individual alter the phenotype of an interacting partner. IGEs can dramatically affect the expression and evolution of social traits. However, the interacting phenotype(s) through which they are transmitted are often unknown, or cryptic, and their detection would enhance our ability to accurately predict evolutionary change. To i...

Quantum Increase of a Soliton Width Due to Squeezed Coherent Phonons

ABSTRACT: Correlation of squeezing and displacement variational parameters of phonons is shown to enhance the e ective electron-phonon coupling constant when compared with the uncorrelated case. The correlation supresses all quantum e ects of phonons: the quantum reduction of the polaron sel ocalization, of the Debye-Waller factor and of the increase of the soliton (quantum Holstein polaron) wi...

Potential aerosol indirect effects on atmospheric circulation and radiative forcing through deep convection

[1] Aerosol indirect effects, i.e., the interactions of aerosols with clouds by serving as cloud condensation nuclei or ice nuclei constitute the largest uncertainty in climate forcing and projection. Previous IPCC reported negative aerosol indirect forcing, which does not account for aerosolconvective cloud interactions because the complex processes involved are poorly understood and represent...
