Abstract. Atmospheric black carbon (BC) absorbs solar radiation, and exacerbates global warming through exerting positive radiative forcing (RF). However, the contribution of BC to ongoing changes in climate is under debate. Anthropogenic emissions, resulting distribution concentration, are highly uncertain. In particular, long-range transport processes affecting atmospheric lifetime poorly understood. Here we discuss whether recent assessments may have overestimated present-day remote...

Abstract Atmospheric ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a critical role in cloud freezing processes, with important implications for precipitation formation and radiative properties, thus weather climate. Additionally, INP emissions respond to changes the Earth System climate, example, desertification, agricultural practices, fires, therefore may introduce climate feedbacks that are still poorly understood. As knowledge of nature origins INPs has advanced, regional global weather, system...
