Aerosol characteristics at a high‐altitude location in central Himalayas: Optical properties and radiative forcing (2006, background): “Introduction The importance of radiative forcing of the atmosphere by aerosols is assuming increasing importance in climate studies [Haywood and Ramaswamy, 1998; Jacobson, 2001; Ramanathan et al., 2001; Kaufman et al., 2002].”
Intercomparison and evaluation of global aerosol microphysical properties among AeroCom models of a range of complexity (2014, background): “, 1997) and in the 2000s became established in several global models (Jacobson, 2001; Adams and Seinfeld, 2002; Spracklen et al., 2005a, 2011; Yu and Luo, 2009; Lee and Adams, 2010; Bergman et al., 2012).”
Representation of generally mixed multivariate aerosols by the quadrature method of moments: II. Aerosol dynamics (2004, background): “Another example, again from the atmosphere, points to the mixing state of black carbon aerosols as having a signiHcant inEuence on radiative forcing (Jacobson, 2001).”
Inferring black carbon content and specific absorption from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol retrievals (2005, background): “While scattering is the predominant radiative effect of aerosols at shortwave wavelengths (i.e., less than 4 mm), significant absorption by aerosols occurs at these wavelengths as well [Liousse et al., 1996; Haywood and Shine, 1997; Schult et al., 1997; Myhre et al., 1998; Penner et al., 1998; Jaco”
Variation of the radiative properties during black carbon aging: theoretical and experimental intercomparison (2015, background): “…atmosphere, which transforms BC from an external to internal mixing state (Schwarz et al., 2008; China et al., 2013) and increases its hygroscopicity (Zhang et al., 2008; Popovicheva et al., 2011) and light absorption (Jacobson, 2001; Shiraiwa et al., 2010; Qiu et al., 2012; Scarnato et al., 2013).”
A study of internal and external mixing scenarios and its effect on aerosol optical properties and direct radiative forcing (2002, background): “Of particular interest is the treatment of black carbon since its high absorption coefficient makes it particularly sensitive to mixing assumptions and a contributor to radiative heating [e.g., Jacobson, 2000, 2001a; Ackerman et al., 2000].”
Multi-angle absorption photometry—a new method for the measurement of aerosol light absorption and atmospheric black carbon (2004, background): “, 2000; Schwartz & Busek, 2000) and model calculations (Jacobson, 2001) have shown that the contribution of light absorption”
Climate forcings in Goddard Institute for Space Studies SI2000 simulations (2002, background): “One reason to increase absorbing aerosols is their present treatment as an external mixture, which underestimates their absorption [ Haywood and Shine , 1995; Fuller et al. , 1999; Jacobson , 2001b].”
Absorption amplification of black carbon internally mixed with secondary organic aerosol (2005, methodology): “Jacobson [2001] used a global circulation model (GCM) which accounts for a wide range of atmospheric aerosol processes (e.g., condensation, coagulation, and nucleation).”
Wintertime aerosol properties during foggy and nonfoggy days over urban center Delhi and their implications for shortwave radiative forcing (2006, background): “concern as these soot particles are strong absorber of both incoming solar radiation as well as the outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation and hence having tremendous potential to alter the radiation budget of the Earth by trapping heat within the atmosphere [ Jacobson, 2001 ].”
Direct radiative effect of aerosols as determined from a combination of MODIS retrievals and GOCART simulations (2004, background): “The low bias of tabs for small particles suggests that the absorption by black carbon and organic carbon is underestimated, probably because of their low concentrations and/or the assumption of external mixture [Sato et al., 2003; Martins et al., 1998; Jacobson, 2000, 2001].”

Distant origins of Arctic black carbon: A Goddard Institute for Space Studies ModelE experiment (2005, background): “Globally it may contribute to climate warming, with recent radiative forcing estimates of +0.55 W m2 [Jacobson, 2001] or higher if various indirect effects are considered [e.g., Hansen and Sato, 2001; Hansen et al., 2002].”
On the attribution of black and brown carbon light absorption using the Ångström exponent (2013, background): “BC absorption under dry atmospheric conditions can in theory be enhanced at all wavelengths by the presence of transparent coatings (Bond et al., 2006; Jacobson, 2001; Published by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union.”
