Zhiyuan Cong,Zhiyuan Cong,Shichang Kang,Shichang Kang,Kimitaka Kawamura,Bin Liu,Xin Wan,Z. Wang,S. Gao,Pingqing Fu +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively evaluate the effect of carbonaceous aerosols on the south edge of the Tibetan Plateau, using data collected weekly from August 2009 to July 2010 at Qomolangma (Mt. Everest) Station for Atmospheric and Environmental Observation and Research (QOMS, 28.36° N, 86.95° E, 4276 m a.s.).

Organic molecular tracers in the atmospheric aerosols from Lumbini, Nepal, in the northern Indo-Gangetic Plain: influence of biomass burning
Xin Wan,Shichang Kang,Shichang Kang,Quanlian Li,Dipesh Rupakheti,Qianggong Zhang,Junming Guo,Pengfei Chen,Lekhendra Tripathee,Maheswar Rupakheti,Arnico K. Panday,Wu Wang,Kimitaka Kawamura,Shaopeng Gao,Guangming Wu,Zhiyuan Cong +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the characteristics of biomass burning in the northern Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP) during April-2013 to March-2014 and analyzed for the biomass burning tracers (i.e., levoglucosan, mannosan, vanillic acid).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an assessment of black-carbon climate forcing that is comprehensive in its inclusion of all known and relevant processes and that is quantitative in providing best estimates and uncertainties of the main forcing terms: direct solar absorption; influence on liquid, mixed phase, and ice clouds; and deposition on snow and ice.

Global and regional climate changes due to black carbon
TL;DR: The second most important contribution to anthropogenic climate warming, after carbon dioxide emissions, was made by black carbon emissions as mentioned in this paper, which is an efficient absorbing agent of solar irradiation that is preferentially emitted in the tropics and can form atmospheric brown clouds in mixture with other aerosols.

Barbara J. Turpin,Ho-Jin Lim +1 more
TL;DR: The authors revisited common assumptions for estimating PM2.5 mass concentration and found that these assumptions can be used to estimate organic mass in a wide range of scenarios, such as PM1.5.
