Short summary
This atmospheric modelling study focuses on the radiative and climatic impacts of coarse-aerosol scattering in the long-wave range. The impact of this process on several climate variables is studied, showing, in particular, significant changes in long-wave radiation and daily surface minimum temperature. Other changes in atmospheric fields are also simulated. The findings of this study highlight the importance of incorporating aerosol scattering in the long-wave spectrum in climate models.
