Aerosols and Climate is a vital resource for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers and lecturers in departments of atmospheric science, meteorology, engineering and the environment. The book comprehensively covers the ever-diversifying field of aerosol effects on climate, both describing and illustrating the strong connection between fundamental research and model applications in a way that will allow both experienced researchers and those new to the field to quickly gain understanding of a wide range of topics. The material is presented in an accessible ‘quick read’ of the essentials, a more detailed description, and a section dedicated to how processes are handled in models. Each chapter’s section on modeling summarizes the current level of knowledge and what the gaps in this understanding mean for the effects of aerosols on climate, thus enabling readers to quickly understand how new research fits into apparently established knowledge. Definitions, case studies, reference data and worked examples are included throughout, all alongside boxes covering technical and fundamental aspects and other topics of interest. Includes a section in each chapter that focuses on the treatment of relevant aerosol processes in climate models Provides clear exposition of the challenges in understanding and reducing persistent gaps in knowledge and uncertainties in the field of aerosol-climate interaction, going beyond the fundamentals and existing knowledge Authored by experts in modeling and aerosol processes, analysis or observations to ensure accessibility and balance
