ABSTRACT
Biomass burning releases gases (e.g., CO2, CO, CH^sub 4^, NO^sub x^, SO^sub 2^, C^sub 2^H^sub 6^, C^sub 2^H^sub 4^, C^sub 3^H^sub 8^, C^sub 3^H^sub 6^) and aerosol particle components (e.g., black carbon, organic matter, K+, Na+, Ca^sup 2+^, Mg^sup 2+^, NH^sup +^^sub 4^, H+, Cl-,
H^sub 2^SO^sub 4^, HSO^sup -^^sub 4^, SO^sup 2-^^sub 4^, NO^sup -^^sub 3^). To date, the global-scale climate response of controlling emission of these constituents together has not been examined. Here 10-yr global simulations of the climate response of biomass-burning aerosols and shortlived gases are coupled with numerical calculations of the long-term effect of controlling biomass-burning CO2 and CH^sub ...
