Constraining the total aerosol indirect effect in the LMDZ and ECHAM4 GCMs using MODIS satellite data

Aerosol indirect effects are considered to be the most uncertain yet important anthropogenic forcing of climate change. The goal of the present study is to reduce this uncertainty by constraining two different general circulation models (LMDZ and ECHAM4) with satellite data. We build a statistical r...
