Aerosols and climate.
Petr Chýlek,James A. Coakley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the radiative transfer equation is solved analytically in the two-stream approximation, and it is found that the sign of the heating is independent of optical thickness of an aerosol layer and the amount of heating approaches a finite limit with increasing thickness of a layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of black carbon on the optical properties and climate forcing of sulfate aerosols
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical properties of anthropogenic sulfate aerosols containing black carbon were studied using a recently developed exact solution of the scattering problem for a spherical particle (sulfate aerosol) containing an eccentrically located spherical inclusion (black carbon).
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical levitation and partial-wave resonances
TL;DR: In this paper, the Mie-Debye theory was used to show that the peaks in levitation power do not exist if levitated particles are irregularly shaped and the first resonances in each partial wave are extremely narrow and they were not detected in the experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Graphitic Carbon on the Albedo of Clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, the radiative properties of clouds containing submicron soot particles as impurities were examined using the mixing rule for a composite medium, and single and multiple scattering properties were obtained using the Mie theory and the delta-Eddington approximation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report results of a project involving 12 groups using 15 models to examine radiative forcing by sulfate aerosol for a wide range of values of particle radius, aerosol optical depth, surface albedo, and solar zenith angle.
