Formation
mechanism of aerosol particles still a big uncertainty in predicting climate change
Not exact matches
Unfortunately, the exact
mechanisms of interactions between clouds and tiny
aerosol particles from pollution, dust, and soot remained largely a mystery.
Later, the enhancement
of atmospheric
aerosol particle formation by ions generated from cosmic rays was proposed as a physical
mechanism explaining this correlation.
However, the precise processes and feedback
mechanisms have not yet been fully understood, so that the interaction between
aerosol particles, their suitability as cloud condensation nuclei, and the sunlight reflected off the earth's surface represented one
of the greatest uncertainties in the calculation
of climatic activity.
Recently it was suggested that the formation
of new atmospheric
aerosol particles is connected with the existence
of thermodynamically stable 1 - to 2 - nm clusters, formed in the atmosphere by some nucleation
mechanism.
