Global climate response to anthropogenic aerosol indirect effects: Present day and year 2100

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol indirect effects (AIE) are a principal source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. The present study investigates the equilibrium response of the climate system to present-day and future AIE using the general circulation model (GCM), Godda ...

Multiscale Modelling of Urban Climate

Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed

Climate Modelling is a complex task. One of the most important reasons is the presence of a large variety of spatio-temporal scales. There are climatic changes that take place over a time period of a few months and then there are gusts which might last onl ...

Continued development of a cloud droplet formation parameterization for global climate models

Athanasios Nenes

This study presents continued development of the Nenes and Seinfeld (2003) cloud droplet activation parameterization. First, we expanded the formulation to (1) allow for a lognormal representation of aerosol size distribution, and (2) include a size-depend ...

We present an analysis of the hemispherical-directional reflectance factor (HDRF) of snow, using 16 seasonal datasets of the spectral range from 400 to 2,500 nm. The data was measured under clear sky conditions in Davos Dorf (Grisons, Switzerland, 1,560 m ...
