DOI: 10.1002/2017jd026962
Abstract: Aerosol particles scatter and absorb radiation and interact with cloud particles. The net aerosol forcing since preindustrial times is negative and has offset part of the greenhouse gas warming. It dominates the uncertainty of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085806
Abstract: The relative importance of anthropogenic aerosol in decadal variations of historical climate is uncertain, largely due to uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing. We analyze a novel large ensemble of simulations with HadGEM3‐GC3.1 for 1850–2014, where… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090778
Abstract: The North Atlantic warming hole (NAWH) is referred to as a reduced warming, or even cooling, of the North Atlantic during an anthropogenic‐driven global warming. A NAWH is predicted by climate models during the 21st… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abb5297
Abstract: Atmospheric simulations of regional land temperature suggest a powerful approach for constraining historical aerosol forcing. Anthropogenic aerosols have been postulated to have a cooling effect on climate, but its magnitude remains uncertain. Using atmospheric general… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-17-0369.1
Abstract: Stevens (2015, hereinafter S15) used energy balance arguments to estimate a lower limit on real-world aerosol forcings. The essence of this argument is that we expect any externally forced component of the warming between preindustrial… read more here.
