• "A weaker negative net ERFari is diagnosed here because the positive absorbing component of ERFSW ari is increased by more than 30% in the present study."
• @ssmithClimate thinks that this might cause changes in BC direct forcing and ERF ACI

Actually, that was a direct comment from the authors of the paper. Once this is out of peer review we should consider revising our assumptions.
