NASA launched its PACE climate satellite with the Dutch aerosol instrument SPEXone onboard. A full year of observations now yields a world map of aerosols.

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 ...

Scientists link global warming to lower sulfur pollution from ships. Fewer ship aerosols mean less sunlight reflection, allowing heat to stay.

And while this good because it will mean a reduction in air pollution, Rosenfeld says that aerosols also have a potential cooling effect on the planet. “When these anthropogenic [manmade] aerosols ...

Last year, 2024, was the warmest year on record for the planet, easily breaking the previous record set just a year earlier.

The Scripps O 2 Program measures changes in atmospheric oxygen levels from air samples collected at stations around the world. CAICE is a Center for Chemical Innovation focused on the fundamental ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depends on the ...

On February 8, 2024, NASA launched its PACE climate satellite with the Dutch aerosol instrument SPEXone onboard. A full year of observations now yields a world map of aerosols.

Although the Earth’s atmosphere is composed mostly of gases, aerosols and clouds have a large impact on the Earth’s radiation budget. The investigation of the climate impact of aerosols and clouds is ...

At the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, particle physicist Jasper Kirkby studies the link between aerosols, cosmic rays and cloud formation, using the data to inform climate models. “It’s ...

Add aerosols to the stratosphere, and sunlight is reflected into space, cooling Earth’s surface. Volcanoes have done it, so why can’t humans? That’s the basic idea behind stratospheric aerosol ...
