Rapid changes in biomass burning aerosols by atmospheric oxidation
(Wiley, 2014)
Primary and secondary aerosol particles originating from biomass burning contribute significantly
to the atmospheric aerosol budget and thereby to both direct and indirect radiative forcing. Based on detailed
measurements ...
An air quality assessment in the industrialised western Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa
(ASSAf, 2012)
South Africa has the largest industrialised economy in Africa, with significant mining and
metallurgical activities. A large fraction of the South African mineral assets is concentrated in
the Bushveld Igneous Complex ...
Reevaluating the contribution of sulfuric acid and the origin of organic compounds in atmospheric nanoparticle growth
(Wiley, 2015)
Aerosol particles formed in the atmosphere are important to the Earth's climate system due to their ability to affect cloud properties. At present, little is known about the atmospheric chemistry responsible for the growth ...
Free tropospheric aerosols over South Africa
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
Raman lidar data of one year was been analyzed to obtain information relating aerosol layers in the free troposphere over South Africa, Elandsfontein. In total, 375 layers were observed above the boundary layer during the ...
Spatial, temporal and source contribution assessments of black carbon over the northern interior of South Africa
(EGU, 2017)
After carbon dioxide (CO2), aerosol black carbon (BC) is considered to be the second most important contributor to global warming. This paper presents equivalent black carbon (eBC) (derived from an optical absorption method) ...
