A review of biomass burning: Emissions and impacts on air quality, health and climate in China. (2017, background): “, 2016b), or estimated as bulk density from volume and correspondedmass concentrations of PM (Pitz et al., 2003; Kostenidou et al., 2007).”
Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, neutral): “Koren et al. (2004) deduced a strong anti-correlation of cloud cover and aerosol optical depth from MODIS satellite data over the Amazon.”
Aerosol-cloud interaction inferred from MODIS satellite data and global aerosol models (2006, background): “At the very large AOD the inverse occurs over land, and this could be explained by the mechanism described by Koren et al. (2004).”
Ice nuclei emissions from biomass burning (2009, background): “, 2006] and indirectly by impacting cloud cover [Koren et al., 2004; Lin et al., 2006] and precipitation [Lin et al.”
Trends in aerosol radiative effects over Europe inferred from observed cloud cover, solar “dimming,” and solar “brightening” (2007, background): “Another means by which aerosol particles may possibly affect clouds is through absorption of solar radiation by black carbon that heats and stabilizes the atmosphere, thus evaporating clouds or suppressing their formation [Ackerman et al., 2000; Koren et al., 2004].”
Global Monitoring and Forecasting of Biomass-Burning Smoke: Description of and Lessons From the Fire Locating and Modeling of Burning Emissions (FLAMBE) Program (2009, background): “Regions of prevalent smoke, such as the Amazon, may exhibit boundary layer cloud impacts [9], [ 10 ].”
What Limits Trees in C4 Grasslands and Savannas (2008, background): “Black aerosols alter energy budgets and reduce the size of cloud droplets causing precipitation to be less frequent but more intense (Andreae et al. 2004, Koren et al. 2004), while savanna fires are important sources of NOx which influences tropospheric ozone formation (Hobbs et al. 2003).”
Effect of aerosol on warm convective clouds: Aerosol‐cloud‐surface flux feedbacks in a new coupled large eddy model (2006, background): “These factors tend to stabilize the atmosphere and make it less conducive to convection [Grassl, 1975; Hansen et al., 1997; Ackerman et al., 2000; Koren et al., 2004], although there is some dependence on the vertical distribution of the aerosol [Johnson et al., 2004; Feingold et al., 2005].”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “…that include black carbon (BC), the direct radiative heating of the aerosols can actually produce a “cloud burning” effect, by either warming the air that includes the clouds and/or blocking the solar heating of the ground that propels the convection [Koren et al., 2004; Feingold et al., 2005].”
