Abstract

The direct climate effect of aerosols has been studied within a regional atmospheric model of the Arctic. The mean springtime effect on the near surface temperature has been estimated and showed to be within ±1 K. However, the aerosol effect varies strongly regionally depending on the surface albedo, atmospheric humidity, and cloud condition of the region. The interannual variability of the aerosol effect is very pronounced (for the near surface temperature in the order of 2 K) and is connected with the strong varying year‐specific atmospheric conditions. Due to the high horizontal resolution of the model, it was possible to assess the influence both on the large‐scale as well as on the meso‐scale atmospheric circulation. Through the aerosol‐radiation‐circulation feedback, the scattering and absorption of radiation by aerosol cause pressure pattern changes which have the potential to modify Arctic teleconnection patterns like the Barents Sea Oscillation.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The link between industrial emissions and surface solar radiation may be direct or may be mediated by aerosol effects on cloud cover and cloud residence time through condensation nuclei and droplet size.

    “The link between industrial emissions and surface solar radiation may be direct (Rinke et al ., 2004), or may be mediated by the effects of aerosols on cloud cover and cloud residence time through their impact on condensation nuclei and droplet size (Twomey, 1977; Ramanathan et al ., 2001).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
