Aerosols interact with radiation and clouds. Substantial progress made over the past 40
years in observing, understanding, and modeling these processes helped quantify the …

Anthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol
concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and …

Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

The effect of an increase in atmospheric aerosol concentrations on the distribution and
radiative properties of Earth's clouds is the most uncertain component of the overall global …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

Aerosol and aqueous particles are ubiquitous in Earth's atmosphere and play key roles in
geochemical processes such as natural chemical cycles, cloud and fog formation, air …

Climate change and air pollution are critical environmental issues both in the here and now
and for the coming decades. A recent OECD report found that unless action is taken, air …

Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

This paper reviews the current knowledge of the climatological, structural, and
organizational aspects of stratocumulus clouds and the physical processes controlling them …

The spontaneous growth of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) into cloud droplets under
supersaturated water vapour conditions is described by classic Köhler theory,. This …
