Characterizing light-absorbing aerosols in a low-income settlement in South Africa
(Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research, 2020)
Light‑absorbing aerosols, particularly black carbon (BC), have significant impacts on human health and the climate. They are also the least‑studied fraction of atmospheric particles, particularly in residential areas of ...
Observation and quantification of aerosol outflow from southern Africa using spaceborne lidar
(ASSAf, 2020)
Biomass burning in Africa provides a prolific source of aerosols that are transported from the source region to distant areas, as far away as South America and Australia. Models have long predicted the primary outflow and ...
Evaluating the potential of remote sensing imagery in mapping ground-level fine particulate matter (PM2.5) for the Vaal Triangle Priority Area
(NACA, 2020)
The quality of air breathed in South Africa is of great concern, especially in industrialised regions where PM2.5 concentrations are high. Long term exposure to PM2.5 is associated with serious adverse health impacts. ...
Quantifying the effect of air quality offsets on household air pollution and thermal comfort on the South Africa Highveld
(NACA, 2020)
South Africa, like other developing countries, has been facing air
quality challenges. As a highly industrialised country, industrial
emissions both from power generations and mining activities
contribute significantly ...
Above-cloud aerosol optical depth from airborne observations in the southeast Atlantic
(EGU, 2020)
The southeast Atlantic (SEA) region is host to a climatologically significant biomass burning aerosol layer overlying marine stratocumulus. We present the first results of the directly measured above-cloud aerosol optical ...
