It also has a thick atmosphere, veiled by dense aerosols, that seemed impenetrable — until now. With the cutting-edge ...

The Sun provides the energy that drives Earth’s climate, but not all of the energy that reaches the top of the atmosphere finds its way to the surface. That’s because aerosols—and clouds seeded by ...

Understanding the intricate chemical processes of the atmosphere is key to predicting and improving air quality. Among these ...

Shanghai Key Laboratory of Atmospheric Particle Pollution and Prevention, National Observations and Research Station for Wetland Ecosystems of the Yangtze Estuary, IRDR International Center of ...

But aerosol particles with dark surfaces (like soot) can also absorb visible light and store it as heat in the lower atmosphere. Aerosols also have an indirect effect as condensation nuclei for ...

Rep. Lisa Fink said she understands geoengineering can be controversial and some people attach it to the “chemtrails” ...

Aerosol light absorption plays a crucial role in regulating the heat balance between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. This happens through two main mechanisms: the aerosol direct effect ...

Last year easily surpassed 2023 as the warmest globally, based on data from Copernicus Climate Change Service and confirmed by NASA and NOAA.

Aerosol light absorption plays a crucial role in regulating the heat balance between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. This happens through two main mechanisms: the aerosol direct effect ...

The air over urban sites have much more complex chemical composition than we think. The complexity arises from the presence ...

including the global atmospheric electric circuit (GEC), energetic radiation and electrification of the atmosphere, aerosol and cloud microphysics, thunderstorms, lightning physics, high-energy ...

While this means cleaner air, fewer atmospheric aerosols also results in a greater amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface creating a heating effect. Some research suggests that this may ...
