The Climatology of Australian Aerosol by R. M. Mitchell, B. W. Forgan, S. K. Campbell

“…Despite the apparently small associated declining trends in mid-visible aerosol optical depth of between 0.001 and 0.002 per year, these trends are much larger than those projected to occur due to declining emissions of anthropogenic aerosols from the Northern Hemisphere. There is remarkable long-range coherence in the aerosol cycle across the continent, suggesting broadly similar source characteristics, including a possible role for intercontinental transport of biomass burning aerosol.…”

Divergent trajectories of ocean warming and acidification by Eric Mortenson, Andrew Lenton, Elizabeth H Shadwick, Thomas W Trull, Matthew A Chamberlain, Xuebin Zhang

“…Relative to the mean global change (MGC) at the sea surface of 2.55 °C warming and a decrease of 0.32 in pH, the North Pacific will exceed the MGC for both warming and acidification, the Southern Ocean for acidification only, and the tropics and midlatitude northern hemisphere will exceed MGC only for warming. Regionally, mapping the ocean warming and acidification informs where the marine environment will experience larger changes in one or both. …”
