abstract = {Understanding the roles of human and natural sources in
contributing to aerosol concentrations around the world is
an important step toward developing efficient and effective
mitigation measures for local and regional air quality
degradation and climate change. In this study we test the
hypothesis that changes in aerosol optical depth (AOD) over
time are caused by the changing patterns of anthropogenic
emissions of aerosols and aerosol precursors. We present
estimated trends of contributions to AOD for eight world
regions from 1980 to 2006, built upon a full run of the
Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport model for
the year 2001, extended in time using trends in emissions of
man-made and natural sources. Estimated AOD trends agree
well (R > 0.5) with observed trends in surface solar
radiation in Russia, the United States, south Asia, southern
Africa, and East Asia (before 1992) but less well for
Organization for Economic Co-operative Development (OECD)
Europe (R < 0.5). The trends do not agree well for southeast
Asia and for East Asia (after 1992) where large-scale inter-
and intraannual variations in emissions from forest fires,
volcanic eruptions, and dust storms confound our approach.
Natural contributions to AOD, including forest and grassland
fires, show no significant long-term trends (< $1\%/a),$
except for a small increasing trend in OECD Europe and a
small decreasing trend in South America. Trends in man-made
contributions to AOD follow the changing patterns of
industrial and economic activity. We quantify the average
contributions of key source types to regional AOD over the
entire time period.},
