Light Absorption by Carbonaceous Particles: An Investigative Review (2006, background): “Around the same time, measurement campaigns identified large concentrations of both absorbing and negligibly-absorbing atmospheric aerosols ( Novakov et al. 1997 ; Quinn and Bates 2003 ), and measured how they alter the Earth's radiative balance ( Satheesh and Ramanthan 2000 ).”
Trends in aerosol radiative effects over Europe inferred from observed cloud cover, solar “dimming,” and solar “brightening” (2007, background): “Depending on composition, aerosol particles can absorb solar radiation (preferentially by black carbon) or scatter some of it back to space (preferentially by sulfate), thus reducing either way the downward flux received at the surface [e.g., Charlson et al., 1991; Satheesh and Ramanathan, 2000].”
Wintertime aerosol properties during foggy and nonfoggy days over urban center Delhi and their implications for shortwave radiative forcing (2006, background): “Large values of atmospheric forcing estimated over Delhi are alarming as earlier studies have shown that widespread aerosol haze over this region can even slow down the hydrological cycle, thereby producing global consequences [ Satheesh and Ramanathan, 2000; Ramanathan et al., 2001, 2005].”
Aerosol characteristics at a high‐altitude location in central Himalayas: Optical properties and radiative forcing (2006, methodology): “Based on the observations over tropical Indian Ocean, Satheesh et al [1999] have reported a value of 0.9 during pre-INDOEX campaign in 1998.”
Next-generation angular distribution models for top-of-atmosphere radiative flux calculation from CERES instruments: validation (2015, background): “…energy balance (e.g., Trenberth et al., 2009; Kato et al., 2011; Loeb et al., 2012; Stephens et al., 2012), aerosol direct radiative effects (e.g., Satheesh and Ramanathan, 2000; Zhang et al., 2005; Loeb and Manalo-Smith, 2005; Su et al., 2013), aerosol–cloud interactions (Loeb and Schuster,…”
Single-Scattering Albedo and Radiative Forcing of Various Aerosol Species with a Global Three-Dimensional Model (2002, methodology): “The hygroscopic growth of aerosol particles is according to Tang and Munkelwitz (1994) for sulfate and Hobbs et al.”
Optical properties of soot–water drop agglomerates: An experimental study (2006, background): “…forcing, is estimated from chemical transport models [e.g., Kinne et al., 2003, and references therein] or directly from observations during aerosol field campaigns [e.g., Jayaraman et al., 1998; Russell et al., 1999; Satheesh and Ramanathan, 2000; Ramanathan et al., 2001b; Huebert et al., 2003].”
