Physics of Aerosols and Their Effect on Climate
نویسنده
چکیده
Classes of atmospheric aerosols and their main sources, distributions of tropospheric aerosol by size and mass, their physico-chemical composition and principal optical properties in various spectral bands are described. Stratospheric aerosols in “quiet” and “disturbed” periods after the major volcanic eruptions, their interactions with clouds and of underlying surface radiative properties affecting the ground surface air radiative temperature, direct and indirect aerosol effects on climate are discussed.

Design, construction and calibration of single channel sun-photometer for study of aerosols
Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the air have a strong influence on air quality, human health and climate change. Sun-photometer is a tool for measuring the optical and physical characteristics of aerosols by using sunlight at various wavelengths from the Earth surface. In this paper, the design, construction, and calibration of a single channel sun-photometer is present...
متن کاملDust Particles and Aerosols: Impact on Biota “A Review” (Part I)
The impacts of Dust and Sand Storms (DSS) on people, crops, livestock, infrastructure and health are well documented. Data have accumulated on the deleterious effects of dust aerosols when they settle on plants. Sand blasting of low growing plants is a common cause of failure in reforestation efforts. Burial of plants by moving sands are also a cause of much damage. The physics of moving sand a...

Due to the effect of aerosols present in the atmosphere on the satellite images, the study of the effect of local aerosols distribution on the satellite images is important. On the other hand, the study shows that the effect of aerosols on the greenhouse gases and consequently on climate is also undeniable and as a result, this puts more emphasize on the necessity of this study. Lack of informa...
متن کاملUsing MODIS data for nonlinear hazard analysis of the Middle East aerosols
Aerosols are among the most important of atmospheric pollutants observed like the microscopic particulate matter in the lower parts of the troposphere. The main purpose of this study is introducing a new method based on satellite images processing results and nonlinear analysis (fractal based) to investigate the origin and dynamical mechanism of aerosols distribution in North Africa and the Mid...
متن کاملThe Effects of Different SDE Calculus on Dynamics of Nano-Aerosols Motion in Two Phase Flow Systems
Langevin equation for a nano-particle suspended in a laminar fluid flow was analytically studied. The Brownian motion generated from molecular bombardment was taken as a Wiener stochastic process and approximated by a Gaussian white noise. Euler-Maruyama method was used to solve the Langevin equation numerically. The accuracy of Brownian simulation was checked by performing a series of simulati...
