The invigoration of deep convective clouds over the Atlantic: aerosol effect, meteorology or retrieval artifact? (2010, background): “Understanding the different cloud feedbacks initiated by changes in aerosol properties poses one of the greatest challenges in climate, cloud and precipitation physics and radiative transfer (Ramanathan et al., 2001; Kaufman, 2002).”
Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, neutral): “%] and the hydrological sensitivity (change in precipitation per unit degree change in temperature) 1P/1T [%/K] between a simulation for present-day conditions (representative for 1985) and of a simulation for pre-industrial conditions (representative for 1860) are given (Feichter et al., 2004).”
What caused Earths temperature variations during the last 800,000 years? Data-based evidences on radiative forcing and constraints on climate sensitivity (2009, background): “The physical understanding of the impact of aerosols (including dust) on climate for present day is very low (Ramanathan et al., 2001; Menon et al., 2002; Anderson et al., 2003; Bellouin et al., 2005; Forster et al., 2007; Kiehl, 2007).”
Direct radiative effect of aerosols as determined from a combination of MODIS retrievals and GOCART simulations (2004, methodology): “As suggested by several recent studies, a combination of large atmospheric absorption and surface cooling can increase the stratification of lower atmosphere and has important implications for atmospheric circulations, global climate, hydrology cycle, and air pollution [e.g., Ramanathan et al., 200”
Heterogeneous nucleation of ice on surrogates of mineral dust (2006, background): “In addition, aerosol particles modify the radiative properties of clouds by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) [Penner, 2001; Twomey, 1974, 1991; Albrecht, 1989; Pincus and Baker, 1994; Baker, 1997; Rosenfeld, 2000; Ramanathan et al., 2001; Pruppacher and Klett, 1997].”
Trends in aerosol radiative effects over Europe inferred from observed cloud cover, solar “dimming,” and solar “brightening” (2007, background): “…anthropogenic aerosol cooling partially offset greenhouse warming over much of Eurasia and North America during the 1960s through the 1980s [e.g., Charlson et al., 1991] and continues to offset greenhouse warming in developing areas of the world [Nazarenko and Menon, 2005; Ramanathan et al., 2001].”
Mass Absorption Cross-Section of Ambient Black Carbon Aerosol in Relation to Chemical Age (2009, background): “2005 ) and on the radiation budget of the Earth ( Jacobson 2001 ; Ramanathan et al.”
A review of biomass burning: Emissions and impacts on air quality, health and climate in China. (2017, background): “In addition to this, through perturbations on solar radiation and acting as the CCN, smoke particles cool the surface, stabilize the atmosphere, reduce the evaporation, and change the dynamic and microphysical evolution of cloud, plausibly induce feedbacks on cloudiness, precipitation, the hydrologi”
