Spatial variability of the direct radiative forcing of biomass burning aerosols and the effects of land use change in Amazonia

This paper addresses the Amazonian shortwave radiative budget over cloud-free conditions after considering three aspects of deforestation: (i) the emission of aerosols from biomass burning due to forest fires; (ii) changes in surface albedo after deforestation; and (iii) modifications in the column...
