recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Climate Dynamics"

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3974-5

Abstract: We examine the effects of non-linear interactions between surface albedo, water vapor and cloud cover (referred to as climate variables) on amplified warming of the polar regions, using a new energy balance model. Our simulations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2019.07.001

Abstract: Abstract We use Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) observation data to empirically determine how natural and anthropogenic aerosol categories (i.e. mineral dust, biomass burning, and urban-industrial aerosols) affect light extinction, showing that their radiative forcing varies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jastp.2020.105287

Abstract: Abstract The I3RC Community Monte Carlo model of three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer (I3RC-CM) was improved by allowing the specification of surfaces with variable albedo. A series of simulations were performed using the improved I3RC-CM in… read more here.
