• A Review of the Role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and Associated Climate Impacts (2019, background): “…AMV is supported by the close match in the linearly detrended North Atlantic SST time series between observations and the externally forced response simulated in some climatemodels (e.g., Booth et al., 2012) but is not supported bymany of the observed key elements of AMV reviewed in section 2.”
• Intercomparison and evaluation of global aerosol microphysical properties among AeroCom models of a range of complexity (2014, background): “There is a need for models to better quantify global aerosol properties and trends in order to reduce uncertainties in model projections of future changes in climate (Andreae et al., 2005) and over recent decades (Booth et al., 2012).”
• The Central Role of Ocean Dynamics in Connecting the North Atlantic Oscillation to the Extratropical Component of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (2017, background): “The impact of time-varying anthropogenic aerosols (Booth et al. 2012), dust emissions from the African Continent (Evan et al. 2009), and cloud feedback and circulation linkages (Martin et al. 2014) may be important for tropical Atlantic variability.”
• Decadal climate prediction: an update from the trenches (2014, background): “It has been suggested that aerosols from previous volcanic eruptions (Otterå et al. 2010) and/or anthropogenic sources (Booth et al. 2012) could play a nonnegligible role in producing additional skill in the decadal hindcasts for the Atlantic.”
• Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “There is a consensus that the indirect forcing of aerosols accounts for more than 70% of total aerosol forcing and is predominant in shaping the meridional energy distributions and modulating the circulation systems on the global scale (Ming and Ramaswamy 2011; Booth et al. 2012; Wang et al. 2015).”
• 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).”
• The Dependence of Global Cloud and Lapse Rate Feedbacks on the Spatial Structure of Tropical Pacific Warming (2018, background): “…in the climate system (e.g., Held et al. 2010; Li et al. 2013), unforced variability on annual to multidecadal time scales (e.g., Kosaka and Xie 2013; Dai et al. 2015), and temporal and spatial variations in anthropogenic forcing (e.g., Booth et al. 2012; Boo et al. 2015; Smith et al. 2015).”
• Decadal changes in radiative fluxes at land and ocean surfaces and their relevance for global warming (2016, methodology): “A substantial impact of anthropogenic aerosols on SSR changes has also been inferred by Booth et al.(105) over the North Atlantic in a modeling study based on the HadGEM2 Earth System model.”
