Impacts of increasing aridity and wildfires on aerosol loading in the intermountain Western US

Impacts of increasing aridity and wildfires on aerosol loading in the intermountain Western US

Feedbacks between climate warming, land surface aridity, and wildfire-derived aerosols represent a large source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. Here, long-term observations of aerosol optical depth, surface level aerosol loading, fire-area burned, and hydrologic simulations are used to...
