DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c02193
Abstract: Black carbon (BC) aerosols perturb climate and impoverish air quality/human health—affecting ∼1.5 billion people in South Asia. However, the lack of source-diagnostic observations of BC is hindering the evaluation of uncertain bottom-up emission inventories (EIs)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab21e7
Abstract: Using idealized climate model simulations, we investigate the effectiveness of black carbon (BC) aerosols in warming the planet relative to CO2 forcing. We find that a 60-fold increase in the BC aerosol mixing ratio from… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/acp-2021-186
Abstract: Abstract. For the radiative impact of individual climate forcings, most previous studies focused on the global mean values at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and less attention has been paid to surface processes, especially… read more here.
