Aerosols vary in composition, size, concentration, and source. They profoundly affect climate, visibility, human health, and biogeochemical cycling. Particle sizes are determined by the mechanism ...

Aerosols are airborne solid and liquid particles with diameters between 0.001 and 100 micrometers. They remain in the troposphere for the relatively short time of a few days to a few weeks, so their ...

Atmospheric aerosols from human activity influence climate. Uncertainties in the understanding of their effects limit our knowledge about climate change. Aa Aa Aa What is the source and ...

Rainfall triggers bursts of natural nanoparticles, which contribute to cloud formation and additional precipitation over the ...

Atmospheric aerosol particles are essential for the formation of clouds and precipitation, thereby influencing the Earth's energy budget, water cycle, and climate. However, the origin of aerosol ...
