Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “This could result in reduced surface evaporation, reduced rainfall, and diminished latent heating over land, leading to a slowing down of the local Hadley circulation and subsequently a weakening of the monsoon circulation [Liepert et al., 2004; Ramanathan et al., 2005;Wild and Liepert, 2010; Bollas”
Extratropical Cooling, Interhemispheric Thermal Gradients, and Tropical Climate Change (2012, background): “Finally, Bollasina et al. (2011) also attributed the twentieth-century weakening of the South Asian monsoon to anthropogenic aerosols (although they did not distinguish between local and remote aerosols), and they interpreted the change as a tropical circulation response to the interhemispheric…”
Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “Long-term variability in themonsoons has also been linked to aerosol forcing, in East Asia (Guo et al 2013, Li et al 2016), South Asia (e.g. Bollasina et al 2011, Guo et al 2015), and Australia (Rotstayn et al 2012, Dey et al 2019) as well as over the Sahel (e.g. Rotstayn and Lohmann 2002, Held et…”
A numerical study of the effect of different aerosol types on East Asian summer clouds and precipitation (2013, neutral): “The anthropogenic aerosol effect will also be compared with greenhouse effect and natural variability (Bollasina et al., 2011; Booth et al., 2012).”
Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing (2014, background): “Studies indicate that aerosols are more effective than an equivalent WMGHG forcing for shifting precipitation, and that historical trends in several areas cannot be explained without including aerosol forcing (Bollasina et al., 2011; Booth et al., 2012; Shindell et al., 2012a; Shindell et al., 2012b”
Climate change in the tropics: The end of the world as we know it? (2012, background): “The local and regional impacts on climate of land-cover changes (Dallmeyer and Claussen, 2011) and anthropogenic aerosols (Tosca et al., 2010; Bollasina et al., 2011) are examples of poorly understood drivers with the potential to introduce systematic errors into tropical predictions.”
Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “…is also a significant pathway to change ambientmeteorology conditions such as temperature and stability, cloud formation, convection, and even large-scale circulation (e.g., Lau et al. 2006; Bollasina et al. 2011; Nabat et al. 2015; Y.Wang et al. 2014c; Sanap andPandithurai 2015; Fan et al. 2015a).”
The Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project (RFMIP): Experimental Protocol for CMIP6 (in open review: 10.5194/gmd-2016-88) (2016, background): “…which aerosol forcing underlies the warming hole in the east-central United States (Leibensperger et al., 2012), shifts in the tropical convergence zones (Bollasina et al., 2011), or phasing of Atlantic (Booth et al., 2012) and Pacific (Meehl et al., 2009; Smith et al., 2016) decadal variability.”
Bounding Global Aerosol Radiative Forcing of Climate Change (2020, background): “The strong regional variations in aerosol distributions363 and ERF may matter for determining impacts of aerosol ERF on several aspects of the364 Earth system (e.g. Bollasina et al., 2011; Chung & Soden, 2017; Kasoar et al., 2018), but365 those considerations are also not addressed in this review.”
