Regional temperature change potentials for short-lived climate forcers based on radiative forcing from multiple models by B. Aamaas, T. K. Berntsen, T. K. Berntsen, J. S. Fuglestvedt, K. P. Shine, W. J. Collins

“…Of all SLCFs, BC is the most sensitive to where and when the emissions occur, as well as giving the largest difference in response between the latitude bands. The temperature response in the Arctic per unit BC emission is almost four times larger and more than two times larger than the global average for Northern Hemisphere winter emissions for Europe and East Asia, respectively. …”
