FMI has been involved in research project, which evaluated the simulations of long - range transport of BB aerosol by the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS - 5) and four
other global aerosol models over the complete South African - Atlantic region using Cloud - Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) observations to find any distinguishing or common model biases.

Such
model included meteorological factors like levels of
aerosols, anthropogenic and biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ozone, carbon dioxide, methane, and
other items that influence
global temperature — the surface albedo among them.
Within the integrated Earth system science paradigm, our major research thrusts include the physics and chemistry of
aerosols, clouds and precipitation; integrating our understanding of climate, energy, and
other human and natural systems through the development and application of
models that span a wide range of spatial scales; and determining the impacts of and informing responses to climate and
other global and regional environmental changes.

Despite differences in volcanic
aerosol parameters employed,
models computing the
aerosol radiative effects interactively yield tropical and
global mean lower - stratospheric warmings that are fairly consistent with each
other and with observations (Ramachandran et al., 2000; Hansen et al., 2002; Yang and Schlesinger, 2002; Stenchikov et al., 2004; Ramaswamy et al., 2006b); however, there is a considerable range in the responses in the polar stratosphere and troposphere.
In order to better understand the causes of the Arctic's changing climate, the authors used observational data and nine CMIP5
global climate
models to tease apart the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, natural forcings and
other anthropogenic forcings (
aerosols, ozone and land use changes).
The monotonic increase of the cleaned
global temperature throughout the 20th century suggests increasing greenhouse gas forcing more - or-less consistently dominating sulfate
aerosol forcing, although our technique can not exclude
other mechanisms not contained in the current generation of
model forcing (22).
My earlier research has concerned, among
others things, the use and the reliability of LES, the application of nonlinear time series analysis on flow fields, and the inclusion of marine organic
aerosol sources in
global climate
models.
