Journal ArticleDOI
Black carbon radiative forcing over the Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the snow albedo forcing and direct radiative forcing (DRF) of black carbon (BC) in the Tibetan Plateau using a global chemical transport model in conjunction with a stochastic snow model and a radiative transfer model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Black carbon-induced snow albedo reduction over the Tibetan Plateau: uncertainties from snow grain shape and aerosol–snow mixing state based on an updated SNICAR model
Cenlin He,Mark Flanner,Fei Chen,Michael Barlage,Kuo-Nan Liou,Shichang Kang,Shichang Kang,Jing Ming,Yun Qian +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors implemented a set of new parameterizations into the widely used SNICAR model to account for effects of snow grain shape (spherical vs. nonspherical) and black carbon (BC)-snow mixing state (external vs. internal).
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameterization of the Radiative Properties of Clouds
Kuo-Nan Liou,Gerard D. Wittman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a plane-parallel radiative transfer program employed is based on the discrete-ordinate method with applications to inhomogeneous atmospheres covering the entire solar and infrared spectra and taking into account the gaseous absorption in scattering atmospheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modeling study of the nonlinear response of fine particles to air pollutant emissions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
Bin Zhao,Bin Zhao,Wenjing Wu,Shuxiao Wang,Jia Xing,Xing Chang,Kuo-Nan Liou,Jonathan H. Jiang,Yu Gu,Carey Jang,Joshua S. Fu,Yun Zhu,Jiandong Wang,Yan Lin,Jiming Hao +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the extended response surface modeling (ERSM) technique to investigate the nonlinear response of PM2-5 concentrations to emissions of multiple pollutants from different regions and sectors over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region, based on over 1000 simulations by a chemical transport model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of three-dimensional solar radiative transfer to mountains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a three-dimensional radiative transfer model simulating solar fluxes over mountain surfaces precisely given distributions of atmospheric scatterers and absorbers, and applied it to a midlatitude mountainous surface to study these components' diurnal, seasonal, and geographical variability under clear skies.
