Abstract - This paper provides an overview and summary of the current state of knowledge regarding critical atmospheric processes that affect the distribution and concentrations of greenhouse...
In new estimates released, WHO reports that in 2012 around 7 million people died - one in eight of total global deaths – as a result of air pollution exposure. This finding more than doubles...
Abstract - This study aims to provide a first comprehensive evaluation of WRF-Chem for modeling aerosols and anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing (RF, including direct, semi-direct and indirect...
Abstract - Absorption aerosol optical depth (AAOD) measurements made by sun-sky photometers are currently the only constraint available for estimates of the global radiative forcing of black...
Executive Summary – Methane is an important climate change forcing greenhouse gas (GHG) with a short‐term impact many times greater than carbon dioxide. Methane comprised 9% of U.S....
Replacing traditional stoves with advanced alternatives that burn more cleanly has the potential to ameliorate major health problems associated with indoor air pollution in developing countries....
This report by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) provides basic information about short lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) as well as new scientific findings...
