Enhanced surface warming and accelerated snow melt in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau induced by absorbing aerosols (2010, background): “Recently Ramanathan et al (2007) estimated that atmospheric heating by Asian brown clouds (ABCs) doubles the greenhouse warming over South Asia, and may contribute substantially to the loss of glacier mass in the Himalayas.”
Black soot and the survival of Tibetan glaciers (2009, background): “Snowfall on the northern and northwestern parts of the plateau is associated mainly with the westerly jet stream, which moves southward toward the Himalayas in winter.”
Agriculture production as a major driver of the Earth system exceeding planetary boundaries (2017, background): “This would also reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system, ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL LOADING Aerosol particles in the atmosphere are detrimental to human health and are well known to affect climate (Ramanathan et al. 2007).”
