Journal ArticleDOI
Warming trends in Asia amplified by brown cloud solar absorption
Veerabhadran Ramanathan,M. V. Ramana,Gregory Roberts,Dohyeong Kim,C. E. Corrigan,Chul Eddy Chung,David M. Winker +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that atmospheric brown clouds contribute as much as the recent increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gases to regional lower atmospheric warming trends and the combined warming trend of 0.25 K per decade may be sufficient to account for the observed retreat of the Himalayan glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric brown clouds: Hemispherical and regional variations in long-range transport, absorption, and radiative forcing
Veerabhadran Ramanathan,F. Li,M. V. Ramana,P. S. Praveen,Dohyeong Kim,C. E. Corrigan,H. Nguyen,Elizabeth A. Stone,James J. Schauer,Greg Carmichael,B. Adhikary,Soon-Chang Yoon +11 more
TL;DR: The brown cloud problem is not restricted to the tropical regions and brown clouds also extend well into the western Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean reaching as far south as 60S and the eastern Atlantic Ocean as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) aerosol optical depths over greater India during winter 2001-2004
L. Di Girolamo,Tami C. Bond,D. Bramer,David J. Diner,F. Fettinger,Ralph A. Kahn,John V. Martonchik,M. V. Ramana,Veerabhadran Ramanathan,Philip J. Rasch +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first detailed spatial analysis of a four-year, wintertime visible aerosol optical depth (AOD) climatology from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) over greater India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming influenced by the ratio of black carbon to sulphate and the black-carbon source
M. V. Ramana,Veerabhadran Ramanathan,Yan Feng,Soon-Chang Yoon,Sang Woo Kim,Greg Carmichael,James J. Schauer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, surface and aircraft measurements of aerosol plumes in China suggest that solar absorption increases with the ratio of black carbon to sulphate, and that black carbon aerosols absorb solar radiation and are a significant source of global warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capturing vertical profiles of aerosols and black carbon over the Indian Ocean using autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a month long campaign over the Indian Ocean during March 2006 investigated the interaction of aerosol, clouds, and radiative effects using autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with miniaturized instruments.
