Aerosol absorption and radiative forcing
We present a comprehensive examination of aerosol absorption with a focus on evaluating the sensitivity of the global distribution of aerosol absorption to key uncertainties in the process representation. For this purpose we extended the comprehensive aerosol-climate model ECHAM5HAM by effective medium approximations for the calculation of aerosol effective refractive indices, updated black car...
متن کاملEffect of clouds on direct aerosol radiative forcing of climate
The effect of a cloud layer on top-of-atmosphere (TOA) aerosol radiative forcing is examined by means of a one-dimensional vertical column simulation. To span the range between nonabsorbing and strongly absorbing particles, (NH4)2SO4 and soot aerosols are considered individually and in internal and external mixtures. For a cloud layer embedded within an aerosol layer it is shown that direct aer...
متن کاملRadiative forcing and climate response
We examine the sensitivity of a climate model to a wide range of radiative forcings, including changes ofsolar irradiance, atmospheric CO2, 03, CFCs, clouds, aerosols, urface •bedo, and a "ghost" forcing introduced at arbitrary heights, latitudes, longitudes, easons, and times of day. We show that, in general, the climate response, specifically the global mean temperature change, issensitive to...

متن کاملChallenges in constraining anthropogenic aerosol effects on cloud radiative forcing using present-day spatiotemporal variability.
A large number of processes are involved in the chain from emissions of aerosol precursor gases and primary particles to impacts on cloud radiative forcing. Those processes are manifest in a number of relationships that can be expressed as factors dlnX/dlnY driving aerosol effects on cloud radiative forcing. These factors include the relationships between cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concent...
