Technical Report

OSTI ID:254876
The panel`s main findings are that (1) anthropogenic aerosols reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth`s surface, (2) anthropogenic aerosols provide a negative climate forcing function for large regions, (3) global models suggest that sulfate aerosols produce a direct forcing in the Northern Hemisphere of the same order of magnitude as that from anthropogenic greenhouse gases, but opposite in sign, and (4) there is substantial uncertainty about the magnitude and spatial distribution of the radiative forcing by aerosols.
