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 ... -
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 ... -
The sensitivity of simulated temperatures in climate models to aerosols over southern Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The purpose of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of Southern African surface temperatures to aerosols using two general circulation models (GCMs), namely the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) – modelE ... -
The use of satellite observations of fire radiative power to estimate the availabilities (activity patterns) of pyrometallurgical smelters
(SAIMM, 2018)Pyrometallurgical smelters consume significant amounts of fossil fuels. Notwithstanding emission abatement technologies, these smelters emit various gaseous pollutants and fine particulate matter, which are important from ...
