The US government should fund targeted atmospheric sampling missions to gather data on these particles in the upper atmosphere and evaluate their environmental impacts. By proactively addressing space ...

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 ways sunlight can break down or alter airborne particles are crucial for understanding how atmospheric pollution works.

Amplification of light in atmospheric aerosol particles can affect their photochemistry, substantially accelerating sunlight-driven in-particle photochemical reactions, which are major ...
