Hamilton, D. S.; et al. (2018): Reassessment of pre-industrial fire emissions strongly affects anthropogenic aerosol forcing
Hamilton, D. S.; Hantson, S.; Scott, C. E.; Kaplan, J. O.; Pringle, K. J.; Nieradzik, L. P. et al. (2018): Reassessment of pre-industrial fire emissions strongly affects anthropogenic aerosol forcing. In: nature communications 9 (1), S. 3182. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05592-9.
„Uncertainty in pre-industrial natural aerosol emissions is a major component of the overall uncertainty in the radiative forcing of climate. Improved characterisation of natural emissions and their radiative effects can therefore increase the accuracy of global climate model projections. Here we show that revised assumptions about pre-industrial fire activity result in significantly increased aerosol concentrations in the pre-industrial atmosphere.“
