Atmosphere of Venus: Implications of Venera 8 Sunlight Measurements
Andrew A. Lacis,James Hansen +1 more
TL;DR: Measurements of solar illumination within the atmnosphere of Venus are quantitatively analyzed by using a multilayer model atmosphere, which shows that there are at least three different scattering layers it the atmosphere of Venus.

Wonderland climate model
James Hansen,Reto Ruedy,Andrew A. Lacis,Gary L. Russell,Makiko Sato,Jean Lerner,D. Rind,Peter Stone +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtain a highly efficient global climate model by defining a sector version (120° of longitude) of the coarse resolution Goddard Institute for Space Studies model II, which is chosen such that the amount of land as a function of latitude is the same as on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manifestations of morphology-dependent resonances in Mie scattering matrices
TL;DR: It is shown that within MDRs, the scattering matrix elements may drastically change not only their magnitude, but also their sign, and even weak absorption inside the particles strongly modifies and then completely destroys the polarization resonance effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic Aerosol Radiative Properties
TL;DR: In this article, large sporadic volcanic eruptions inject large amounts of sulfur bearing gases into the stratosphere which then get photochemically converted to sulfuric acid aerosol droplets that exert a radiative cooling effect on the global climate system lasting for several years.
