Effect of aerosol-induced snow darkening on the direct radiative effect of aerosols over the Himalayan region

Regional heterogeneity in direct and snow albedo forcing of aerosols over the Himalayan cryosphere was investigated using a regional climate model coupled with the community land model having snow, ice and aerosol radiation module. Deposition of absorbing aerosols like dust (natural) and black carbo...
