Black carbon dominated dust in recent radiative forcing on Rocky Mountain snowpacks

Kelly E. Gleason et al.

Summary: The majority of surface water resources in the semi-arid western United States come from winter snowpack, which is primarily influenced by solar radiation. This study reveals that black carbon from combustion emissions has a greater impact on snowpack radiation forcing compared to dust particles. Therefore, reducing winter and spring emissions of black carbon is crucial for mitigating radiation forcing on snow-water resources.

Black carbon deposited in Hariqin Glacier of the Central Tibetan Plateau record changes in the emission from Eurasia

Mo Wang et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant increase in refractory black carbon (rBC) concentration in the central Tibetan Plateau since the 1950s, mainly influenced by emissions increases in Eastern Europe, former USSR, the Middle East, and South Asia. Despite the low-level background rBC concentrations in ice cores from the Tibetan Plateau, the remarkable increase in anthropogenic BC emissions in recent decades has had a noticeable impact on glaciers.

Hemispheric black carbon increase after the 13th-century Maori arrival in New Zealand

Joseph R. McConnell et al.

Summary: Research shows that black carbon emissions from New Zealand over the past two thousand years far exceeded those from fires in Tasmania and southern Patagonia, providing clear evidence of large-scale environmental effects associated with early human activities across the remote Southern Hemisphere.

Observed and Modeled Black Carbon Deposition and Sources in the Western Russian Arctic 1800-2014

Meri M. Ruppel et al.

Summary: This study presents long-term BC deposition and source apportionment data from Russia for the first time, indicating increasing BC fluxes between 1800 and 2014. Radiocarbon analyses show biomass as the main source for BC, with fossil fuel contributions peaking around 1960-1990. The comparison of observed and modeled data suggests the need to update anthropogenic BC emission inventories for Russia and potentially adjust wildfire emission estimates.

Significant impact of forcing uncertainty in a large ensemble of climate model simulations

John C. Fyfe et al.

Summary: This study analyzes a large ensemble of simulations using a comprehensive Earth System Model to quantify uncertainties in global climate change attributable to differences in prescribed forcings. Significant differences in simulated global surface air temperature and Arctic sea ice area are found due to volcanic and anthropogenic aerosol forcings.

Improved estimates of preindustrial biomass burning reduce the magnitude of aerosol climate forcing in the Southern Hemisphere

Pengfei Liu et al.

Summary: Research shows that historical fire activity in the Southern Hemisphere surpassed present-day levels, and over the past century, overall fire emissions in the Southern Hemisphere have decreased by possibly 30%, likely due to rapid expansion of land use. This decreasing trend in fire emissions largely offsets the cooling effect of increasing aerosols from fossil fuel and biofuel sources in the past century.

Elemental and water-insoluble organic carbon in Svalbard snow: a synthesis of observations during 2007-2018

Christian Zdanowicz et al.

Summary: The study found that carbonaceous aerosols can impact Arctic climate warming by lowering the albedo of snow. The research in Svalbard on elemental carbon and water-insoluble organic carbon concentrations in snow sheds light on their distribution and variation, providing insights into their impact on the region.
