TL;DR: A comprehensive review of studies on Asian aerosols, monsoons, and their interactions is provided in this article, where a new paradigm is proposed on investigating aerosol-monsoon interactions, in which natural aerosols such as desert dust, black carbon from biomass burning, and biogenic aerosols from vegetation are considered integral components of an intrinsic aerosolmonsoon climate system, subject to external forcing of global warming, anthropogenic aerosol, and land use and change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral variation of the averaged aerosol absorption optical depth was nearly linear in logarithmic coordinates over the wavelength range of 440-870 nm for both the Kanpur and Ilorin sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Cimel sunphotometer measurements at seven sites over rural, suburban and urban regions of North China Plain from 1 to 30 January 2013 were used to further understand of spatial-temporal variation of aerosol optical parameters and aerosol radiative forcing (ARF).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used the East Asian Study of Tropospheric Aerosols: An International Regional Experiment (EAST-AIRE) baseline station at Xianghe, about 70 km east of Beijing over a period of one year (September 2004 to September 2005).

TL;DR: The Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) as mentioned in this paper collects and centrally archives high-quality ground-based radiation measurements in 1'min resolution, which is the basis for the World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC) database.
