- Abstract:
Simulations of effects of black carbon aerosols on temperature, precipitation, and radiation flux. This view covers the simulation of added black carbon in the atmosphere based on measurements from INDOEX and industrial regions in China. It starts showing temperature changes (blue is cooler, red is warmer), fades to precipitation changes (blue is wetter, brown is dryer) and finally radiate flux at ground level (black is less, yellow is more).
