Sentences with phrase «aerosol particles act»

Interactions with the hydrological cycle, and additional impacts on the radiation budget, occur through the role of aerosols in cloud microphysical processes, as aerosol particles act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN).

The indirect effect is when aerosol particles act as a cloud condensation nucleus, affecting the formation and lifetime of clouds.

These aerosol particles act as condensation nuclei and modify cloud formation.

Aerosol particles act as cloud droplets and thus reflect solar radiation back to space cooling down the planet.

Aerosol particles act as seeds, around which water vapour condenses into cloud droplets.

Their freezing can either be triggered by aerosol particles acting as a so - called ice nuclei (IN), or occur homogeneously (without IN) at about − 38 ◦ C The goal of many laboratory studies was and is to assess the ice nucleation ability of selected aerosol particles of a... http://search.proquest.com/openview/421dd0783b387a8e030902328dcc6f23/1.pdf?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=105744

Not exact matches

Aerosol particles influence Earth's climate through cloud formation: Clouds can only form if so - called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are present, which act as seeds for condensing water molecules.

During ISDAC, they collected an unprecedented level of data and detailed observations on Arctic clouds and aerosols, those tiny particles in the atmosphere that act as seeds for cloud droplets and ice crystals.

One of those complex interactions is aerosols, the microscopic particles of dust, soot, and chemicals dispersed in the atmosphere that scatter or absorb sunlight and act as seeds for cloud formation.

In effect, these particles — whether aerosols or kitchen table salt — could act like natural aerosols that cool the planet after a volcanic eruption.

But the team found that the smoke and cloud layers are closer together than expected so that aerosol particles from the smoke act as nuclei for cloud droplets to form around.

The cosmic ray particles work let's say like a «glue» that puts together all the already formed condensation nuclei in the atmospheric air, creating therefore bigger condensation nuclei and finally the clouds, or the cosmic particles act as aerosols on their own, on which the water vapour condenses?

These NCA emissions directly affect particle concentrations and human exposure to nanosized aerosol in urban areas, and potentially may act as nanosized condensation nuclei for the condensation of atmospheric low - volatile organic compounds.

Studying the atmospheric aerosol particles, which impact cloud formation and particles, above a pristine forests, researchers discovered that when left alone the Amazon acts as its own «bioreactor»: clouds and precipitation are produced by the abundance of plant materials.
