Results: When it comes to understanding how
atmospheric particles affect climate, one measurement can't tell the whole story, especially in areas that haven't been studied.
Studying clouds and aerosols won't just help scientists study the climate, it's also a chance to investigate air quality and how
atmospheric particles affect daily life.

«If we know how volcanic sulfur
particles affect the
atmospheric winds, we can have a much improved interpretation of the traces of volcanic activities in the ice cores,» says Dr. Toohey.
To determine whether declining pollutants deserve credit for the recovery, the researchers used a 3D
atmospheric model to separate the effects of the chemicals from those of weather, which can
affect ozone loss through winds and temperature, and volcanic eruptions, which deplete ozone by pumping sulfate
particles into the upper atmosphere.
Reactions in and on sea - salt aerosol
particles may have a strong influence on oxidation processes in the marine boundary layer through the production of halogen radicals, and reactions on mineral aerosols may significantly
affect the cycles of nitrogen, sulfur, and
atmospheric oxidants.
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.
They will focus on simulations that explore how the scale of the model
affects clouds and
atmospheric particles in different climate regimes.
The survey, is known as HIPPO, comprised several pole - to - pole research flights that successfully collected
atmospheric gases in three years and generated the first - ever detailed mapping of gases and
particles that
affect Earth's climate, they say.
