Modeling of 2008 Kasatochi volcanic sulfate direct radiative forcing: assimilation of OMI SO₂ plume height data and comparison with MODIS and CALIOP observations

We use satellite observations of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spec- trometer (MODIS) together with the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model

Similar discrepancies are found when using the HYSPLIT trajectory model at different altitudes (10–13 km) or the wind speeds and directions, actually measured on board of the

The direct aerosol radiative forcing (DARF) has been estimated for the clear-sky conditions over Delhi from January 2006 to January 2007 using Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric

to solve underestimation of the simulated dust deposition over the Antarctic through, for example, detailed sensitivity experiments for analyzing what important factors are to

Shown are (1) the sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium tropospheric burdens, (2) the areal-weighted average values of <X, Y> on the US of the hysteresis loop and of percent sulfate

The e ff ects of seasonality of BBCA on aerosol direct radiative forcing (DRF) and on climate are isolated by comparing the results of two runs, in either o ffl ine or online set,

The model has been used to study the impact of aerosol direct radiative e ff ect on East Asian climate (Zhang et al., 2012a), direct radiative forcing of anthropogenic aerosols (Bond

Here we investigated the relationship between forcing and climate response for fires using a global Earth system model that included direct and semi-direct aerosol e ff ects.. In
