Confronting the Challenge of Modeling Cloud and Precipitation Microphysics (2020, methodology): “This has been applied previously for parameter sensitivity analysis using Gaussian process emulation (e.g., Carslaw et al., 2013; He et al., 2018; Johnson et al., 2015; Posselt et al., 2016).”
Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “It has been argued that small aerosol perturbations in early industrial time may have caused substantial impacts in a less polluted atmosphere (e.g. Carslaw et al 2013)—with potential consequences for our best estimate of aerosol radiative forcing (Stevens 2015, Kretzschmar et al 2017, Booth et al…”
Bounding Global Aerosol Radiative Forcing of Climate Change (2020, background): “The sensitivity is best expressed449 as logarithmic in Nd, because most cloud processes are sensitive to a relative, rather than450 absolute, change in Nd (Carslaw et al., 2013, see also Eq.”
Direct and semi-direct aerosol radiative effect on the Mediterranean climate variability using a coupled regional climate system model (2015, background): “Fewer studies have carried out multi-annual simulations including aerosols in RCMs over the Euro-Mediterranean region.”
Intercomparison and evaluation of global aerosol microphysical properties among AeroCom models of a range of complexity (2014, background): “The presence of this constant background source of potential CCN could be important for determining the baseline pre-industrial cloud droplet concentrations which has a strong inﬂuence on indirect forcing over the industrial period (e.g. Carslaw et al., 2013; Schmidt et al., 2012).”
Improved Aerosol Processes and Effective Radiative Forcing in HadGEM3 and UKESM1 (2018, background): “Natural aerosol emissions, an important determinant of the PI aerosol climate used in aerosol ERF calculations, also remain highly unconstrained (Carslaw et al., 2013).”
