Learn how ash from volcanic eruptions can alter ice content in clouds, influencing how Earth handles radiation.

A deep dive into data from ANSTO's comprehensive aerosol sampling program (ASP) databases highlighted 12 environmental ...

Large-scale interventions to control weather are a step into the unknown, says Chris Wright, and may also allow the worst emitters to continue unchecked ...

Controversial experiments are set to take place in Britain within the next five years to reflect sunlight away from Earth, experts say.

A new study by Norway’s CICERO climate institute finds that China's efforts to cut sulphur pollution have unintentionally ...

Sulphate aerosols, which form through the oxidation of sulphur dioxide, are highly reflective and make up nearly 50-60% of the overall aerosol composition in India, in addition to black carbon ...

The reason: The eruption formed smaller sulfate aerosols that had an efficient cooling effect that unexpectedly outweighed the warming effect of the water vapor. Meanwhile, the water vapor interacted ...

Sulfate aerosols lead to cooling in the atmosphere. Past volcanic eruptions, such as that of nearby Pinatubo in 1991, have had this kind of cooling effect on the climate.

Several factors are driving the decline of the Earth-cooling low marine cloud layers, he said, including climate cycles like El Niño, as well as a drop of sulfate aerosol emissions from shipping ...

Global warming, along with reductions of sulfate aerosol pollution, is likely to fuel even more powerful and destructive storms in the years and decades ahead. Every 1 degree Celsius of warming ...

Extremely clean air on the ground, warm air intrusions and sulphate aerosol at high altitudes -- a research project has gained new insights into clouds in Antarctica. Leipzig/Bremerhaven.

They found that in the year following the eruption, the cooling effect from the volcanic aerosols reflecting sunlight into outer space was stronger than the warming caused by water vapors trapping ...
