aerosols to seed cloud formation in a
lower atmospheric layer called the troposphere.
Nations collectively to begin to reduce sharply global
atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases and absorbing
aerosols, with the goal of urgently halting their accumulation in the atmosphere and holding
atmospheric levels at their
lowest practicable value;
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.
The ENA is providing a rare, long - term data set about the response of these
low clouds to changes in
atmospheric greenhouse gases and
aerosols — a major source of uncertainty in global and regional climate models.
However, at present
atmospheric aerosol levels are very
low indeed, with the OD550 being
lower than anytime in 30 + years.
Global data on anthropogenic
aerosols is poor to non-existent, but I would content that reductions in
aerosols were a significant driver of
low level cloud decreases over the 1975 to 2000 period, and hence
atmospheric temperatures.
