Cover Story: Long-term aerosol radiative effects (2009-2023) have been assessed in Barcelona, Spain, using ground-based instruments and combining Global Solar Radiation from a pyranometer and Aerosol Optical Depth from an AERONET photometer. Aerosol Radiative Forcing and Aerosol Forcing Efficiency were estimated with the direct method for clear-sky days, which were selected using quadratic fitting. These aerosol radiative effects from desert dust, urban/industrial-biomass burning, and mixed aerosol types were also calculated. The results show a dominant cooling effect, increasing in absolute value over time. GRASP retrievals from lidar and photometer combinations were also used to assess aerosol radiative effects for three case studies and reduce uncertainties at high aerosol loads. View this paper
