Putting aerosols in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight could prevent the shutdown of key ocean currents, but only if it is ...

Atmospheric rivers, cloud-creating aerosol particles, and california reservoirs Date: January 17, 2015 Source: University of California, San Diego Summary: In the midst of the California rainy ...

Clouds play an important role in regulating the climate. Bright ones at low altitudes generally reflect solar energy away, ...

Light-absorbing brown carbon aerosols, emitted by wildfires, remain longer in the atmosphere than expected, which could have implications for climate predictions.

Atmospheric aerosol particles exert a strong net cooling effect on the climate by making clouds brighter and more extensive, reflecting more sunlight back out to space. However, how aerosol ...

The spatial distribution of ambient aerosol particles plays a huge role in aerosol–radiation–cloud interactions; however, not enough sampling has been done from the atmospheric boundary layer ...

This data will provide more insight into how various atmospheric aerosols behave and interact with each other. As global temps rise, scientists study these tiny particles in the atmosphere© Andre ...

Aerosol particles play important roles in radiation transport within the atmosphere, as toxic substances, as cloud condensation nuclei, and as vehicles for long range transport of various substances.

EarthCARE lidar reveals details of particles in the atmosphere 24 Sep 2024 Atmospheric lidar instrument has now commenced operations, measuring clouds and aerosols.

Atmospheric aerosols are tiny particles that can reflect sunlight back into space and reduce global temperatures. However, their concentrations have greatly diminished due to international efforts ...

Research Motivation Atmospheric aerosols and clouds play important roles in determining the Earth’s climate. Trace gases and aerosols, constitute only a tiny fraction of the atmospheric mass, however ...
