• Are Northern Hemisphere boreal forest fires more sensitive to future aerosol mitigation than to greenhouse gas–driven warming? 

      Allen, Robert J.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Wilcox, Laura J.; Fisher, Rosie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Considerable interest exists in understanding how climate change affects wildfire activity. Here, we use the Community Earth System Model version 2 to show that future anthropogenic aerosol mitigation yields larger increases ...
    • Interactions between atmospheric composition and climate change - progress in understanding and future opportunities from AerChemMIP, PDRMIP, and RFMIP 

      Fiedler, Stephanie; Naik, Vaishali; O'Connor, Fiona M.; Smith, Christopher J.; Griffiths, Paul; Kramer, Ryan J.; Takemura, Toshihiko; Allen, Robert J.; Im, Ulas; Kasoar, Matthew; Modak, Angshuman; Turnock, Steven; Voulgarakis, Apostolos; Watson-Parris, Duncan; Westervelt, Daniel M.; Wilcox, Laura J.; Zhao, Alcide; Collins, William J.; Schulz, Michael; Myhre, Gunnar; Forster, Piers M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      The climate science community aims to improve our understanding of climate change due to anthropogenic influences on atmospheric composition and the Earth's surface. Yet not all climate interactions are fully understood, ...
    • Rapidly evolving aerosol emissions are a dangerous omission from near-term climate risk assessments 

      Persad, Geeta G.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Wilcox, Laura J.; Allen, Robert J.; Bollasina, Massimo A.; Booth, Ben B. B.; Bonfils, Céline; Crocker, Tom; Joshi, Manoj M.; Lund, Marianne Tronstad; Marvel, Kate D.; Merikanto, Joonas; Nordling, Kalle; Undorf, Sabine; Vuuren, Detlef Van; Westervelt, Daniel M.; Zhao, Alcide (Journal article, 2023)
      Anthropogenic aerosol emissions are expected to change rapidly over the coming decades, driving strong, spatially complex trends in temperature, hydroclimate, and extreme events both near and far from emission sources. ...
    • The Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP) 

      Wilcox, Laura J.; Allen, Robert J.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Bollasina, Massimo A.; Griffiths, Paul T.; Keeble, James; Lund, Marianne Tronstad; Makkonen, Risto; Merikanto, Joonas; O'Donnell, Declan; Paynter, David J.; Persad, Geeta G.; Rumbold, Steven T.; Takemura, Toshihiko; Tsigaridis, Kostas; Undorf, Sabine; Westervelt, Daniel M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Changes in anthropogenic aerosol emissions have strongly contributed to global and regional trends in temperature, precipitation, and other climate characteristics and have been one of the dominant drivers of decadal trends ...
    • Surface warming and wetting due to methane’s long-wave radiative effects muted by short-wave absorption 

      Allen, Robert J.; Zhao, Xueying; Randles, Cynthia A.; Kramer, Ryan J.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Smith, Christopher J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Although greenhouse gases absorb primarily long-wave radiation, they also absorb short-wave radiation. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of methane short-wave absorption, which enhances its stratospherically ...
