Contents Notes |
Atmospheric Aerosols field exepriment prgaramme. A history of studies -- Field observational experiments in America and Western Europe -- Field observational experiments in Eurasia and Africa -- Processes of aerosol formation (nucleation) -- Aersol and chemical processes in the atmosphere -- Interactions between aerosols and clouds -- Optical properties of aerosols and clouds -- Aerosol long-range transport and deposition -- Climatic impacts of atmospheric aerosols. "Atmospheric Aerosol Properties focuses on the impact of aerosols on climatic processes in the atmosphere, manifested both directly through the Earth's albedo and indirectly by influencing cloud particles' size distribution. The book analyses the latest results of research into radiative forcing effects, with particular attention given to the properties of aerosols, the processes of aerosol formation and interaction of aerosols with clouds, and aerosols as a component of the climate, including the problem of long-range transport."--Jacket. |
