Fig. 6: African smoke influence on aerosol-radiation interactions in Amazonia.
From: African biomass burning affects aerosol cycling over the Amazon
Contribution of African smoke to instantaneous radiative effect (IREARI) as time series for the years 2019 and 2020 at ATTO (a) as well as geographically resolved for the entire Amazon basin under wet season (b) and the dry season conditions (c). In (a), the radiative effect – here a dimming of the surface net shortwave (SW) radiation – is shown in black for all biomass burning smoke and in gray for the African contribution. Results were obtained from the EMAC model for all-sky conditions using the standard aerosol microphysical properties from the model.
