TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed TOMS AOD at 500 nm (1980e2001), along with MODIS data (2000e2008) at 550 nm to investigate variations at one-degree grid over eight typical regions in China and the trends in AODs, temporally and spatially.About:

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.

Aerosol and boundary-layer interactions and impact on air quality
Zhanqing Li,Zhanqing Li,Jianping Guo,Aijun Ding,Hong Liao,Jianjun Liu,Yele Sun,Tijian Wang,Huiwen Xue,Hongsheng Zhang,Bin Zhu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the major advances in aerosol measurements, PBL processes and their interactions with each other through complex feedback mechanisms, and highlight the priorities for future studies.

Weather conditions conducive to Beijing severe haze more frequent under climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors looked at how atmospheric conditions contribute and projected climate change will increase conditions favorable to severe haze events in Beijing. But they did not consider the effect of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using satellite remote sensing data to estimate the high-resolution distribution of ground-level PM2.5
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of aerosol characteristics (e.g., aerosol composition and size distribution) on the AOD-PM2.5 relationship is seldom considered in observation-based methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haze Days in North China and the associated atmospheric circulations based on daily visibility data from 1960 to 2012
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the haze variations over North China and their associated atmospheric circulations for the period of 1960-2012 using daily visibility data and found that the haze events over this region primarily occur in boreal winter of year and mainly in the morning of day.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis
Susan Solomon,Dahe Qin,Martin R. Manning,Melinda Marquis,Kristen Averyt,Melinda M.B. Tignor,H. L. Miller,Z. Chen +7 more
TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Aerosols, cloud microphysics, and fractional cloudiness.
TL;DR: Increases in aerosol concentrations over the oceans may increase the amount of low-level cloudiness through a reduction in drizzle—a process that regulates the liquid-water content and the energetics of shallow marine clouds—to contribute to a cooling of the earth's surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Pollution on the Shortwave Albedo of Clouds
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that pollution can increase the reflectance (albedo) of clouds; by increasing the absorption coefficient it acts to decrease the reflectances, and that the former effect (brightening of the clouds in reflection, hence climatically a cooling effect) dominates for thin to moderately thick clouds.

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral optical thickness and effective radius of the aerosol over the ocean were validated by comparison with two years of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) data.

Climate Effects of Black Carbon Aerosols in China and India
TL;DR: A global climate model used to investigate possible aerosol contributions to trends in China and India found precipitation and temperature changes in the model that were comparable to those observed if the aerosols included a large proportion of absorbing black carbon (“soot”), similar to observed amounts.
