In this case the computed forcings incorporate the effects of other
aerosol types which have a similar spatial distribution to sulphate aerosols, such as nitrate aerosols or carbonaceous aerosols from fossil fuel combustion.
Not exact matches
The latter
type of sensors, Robock notes, could directly measure the size distribution of
aerosols,
which could help researchers better model their effects on climate.
The PNNL team is currently applying the approach,
which grew out of the
Aerosol Climate Initiative, to other types of simulations, so that future high - resolution climate models will solve the mystery surrounding aerosol - cloud intera
Aerosol Climate Initiative, to other
types of simulations, so that future high - resolution climate models will solve the mystery surrounding
aerosol - cloud intera
aerosol - cloud interactions.
Two other
types were isolated from two animals
which had received a low dose stationary phase
aerosol infection.
Methods: In this new approach, the team began with an atmospheric
aerosol sample that contains thousands of molecules formed in the reactions of ozone, a common atmospheric oxidant, with limonene, a molecule emitted by various
types of trees,
which is responsible for the citrus scent found walking among the orange trees.
In addition, model intercomparison studies do not quantify the range of uncertainty associated with a specific
aerosol process, nor does this
type of uncertainty analysis provide much information on
which aerosol process needs improving the most.
Second, the upsurge in Graffiti art (Street or
Aerosol Art),
which blossomed especially in America - Philadelphia, then New York - where it morphed into a major
type of urban contemporary art.
These uncertainties are reflected in the model simulations of
aerosol concentrations
which all show similar total amounts, but have very different partitions among the different
types.
Volcanic events and some
types of human - made pollution, both of
which inject sunlight - reflecting
aerosols (i.e., tiny particles) into the atmosphere, lower temperature and are examples of forcings that drive decreases in temperature.
The study focuses on one proposed
type of SRM, known as a «stratospheric
aerosol injection»,
which involves sending up substances to the stratosphere that are known to have a cooling effect on the climate.
You discuss what you call «
aerosols», by
which I think you mean various
types of cloud nuclei.
The two main
types, she says, are solar radiation management,
which mostly refers to injecting sulfur
aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and, hence cool the Earth; and carbon dioxide removal,
which is best illustrated by direct air capture — machines that take carbon dioxide out of the air and store it underground.
And a new NASA climate satellite called Glory,
which will launch late in 2010, will carry a new
type of
aerosol sensor that should be able to distinguish between
aerosol types more accurately than previous instruments.
Anthropogenic emissions include many
types of GHG's as well as particulates such as black carbon and sulfate
aerosols, each of
which has a different effect on the atmosphere, and a different atmospheric lifetime.
In addition to the data from the radiometers, the Berkeley Lab scientists will get supplemental data by taking advantage of a separate, in - depth DOE climate study at the same location,
which is using additional instruments and a balloon - borne sounding system to get information on temperature, cloud cover, the density and
types of
aerosols or pollution particles, heat fluxes and other climate variables like precipitation.
