Evaluating the contribution of black carbon to climate change

Tuesday, September 11, 2018 - 07:28 in Astronomy & Space

Japanese and US researchers developed an advanced model to assess the ability of black carbon particles to absorb sunlight and contribute to global warming. The model achieved higher sensitivity than obtained by previous models because it considered both particle size and the complex mixing states of black carbon in air. This advanced model will aid in the assessment of the effectiveness of removing black carbon from the atmosphere to suppress climate change.
