Aerosol optical properties and direct radiative effect over Gobabeb, Namibia
(NACA, 2019)Atmospheric aerosols contribute significantly to the uncertainty in radiative forcing effects that influence the climate as well as posing a significant health risk to humans. The climatic implications of aerosols are ... -
Characteristics of columnar aerosol optical and microphysical properties retrieved from the sun photometer and its impact on radiative forcing over Skukuza (South Africa) during 1999-2010
(Springer, 2017)The detailed analysis of columnar optical and microphysical properties of aerosols obtained from the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) Cimel sun photometer operated at Skukuza (24.98° S, 31.60° E, 150 m above sea level), ... -
The impact of aerosols on forecasting short range temperature over South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The impact of biomass burning and dust aerosols on the performance of forecasting short-range near surface temperature over South Africa was investigated using the UK Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) nesting suite. Aerosol ... -
Intercomparison and assessment of long-term (2004 – 2013) multiple satellite aerosol products over two contrasting sites in South Africa
(Elsevier, 2016)o build a long-term database and improve the accuracy of the satellite products used for aerosol studies, there is a need to carry out intercomparison and validation of these satellite observations with ground-based ...
