Description
Summary:Aerosol and clouds play important roles in determining the earth's climate, in ways that we are only beginning to comprehend. In conjunction with molecular scattering from gases, aerosols, and clouds determine in part what fraction of solar radiation reaches the earth's surface and what fraction of the longwave radiation from the earth escapes to space. This book provides an overview of the latest. research on atmospheric aerosols and clouds and their effects on global climate
