How aerosols affect our climate New Haven CT (SPX) Oct 18, 2019
For many, the word "aerosol" might conjure thoughts of hairspray or spray paint. More accurately, though, aerosols are simply particles found in the atmosphere. They can be human-made, like from car exhaust or biomass burning, or naturally occurring, from sources such as volcanic eruptions or sea spray.
Aerosols account for one of the greater uncertainties in understanding the Earth's clim ... more |
