   Direct Radiative Effect (DRE)
   The DRE/) quantifies the change in net downward radiative flux at the top of the atmosphere (TOA)/) due to aerosols directly altering radiation transfer. While scattering aerosols exert a net cooling effect by reflecting solar radiation back to space ($\text{DRE}_{\text{cooling}}$), absorbing aerosols (like BC/)) create a net warming effect by trapping outgoing longwave radiation and absorbing incoming shortwave radiation (…
