Sensitivity of aerosol to assumed optical properties over Asia using a global aerosol model and AERONET

Key variables required for aerosol direct radiative forcing estimates are aerosol optical thickness (AOT), ngstrm Exponent (AE) and single scattering albedo (SSA), which are determined not only by aerosol amount but also by physical and optical parameters such as size distribution, hygroscopicity, m...
