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.
Using publically available data about wind speed and water vapor flux from real - world
atmospheric rivers over the Atlantic, the scientists created a computer model consisting of thousands of moving virtual air
particles and found a close match between the complex swirls — the Lagrangian coherent structures — made by the air
particles and the patterns made by the real
atmospheric rivers.
That's the conclusion of a team of scientists
using a new approach to study tiny
atmospheric particles called aerosols that can influence climate by absorbing or reflecting sunlight and seeding clouds.
It was to study such
atmospheric γ - rays that Dwyer, then at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, fitted a
particle detector on a Gulfstream V, a type of jet plane typically
used by business executives.
Detecting biogenic organic compounds in the atmosphere
using land data and chemistry models helps describe
atmospheric particle formation and air quality
Because small - scale climate features, such as clouds and
atmospheric aerosol
particles, have a large impact on global climate, it's important to improve the methods
used to represent those climate features in the models.
Three instruments are
used to detect fine dust and ultrafine dust, i.e. the smallest
atmospheric particles.
IFE's Low Pressure Loop is
used for studying 2 - and 3 - phase multiphase gas - liquid -
particle flow in near horizontal pipes or in a rectangular channel, at
atmospheric pressure.
The
use of fog, smoke and rain is both film - like and disorienting, with fantastically
atmospheric use of blur,
particle effects and lighting.
There are elements of climate science that can be addressed
using these methods, notably in
atmospheric chemistry and the physics and chemistry of aerosol and cloud
particles.
