متن کاملRegional Effects of Aerosols on the Atmospheric Radiative Balance
Aerosols represent one of the greatest uncertainties in quantifying atmospheric sources of climate change. The role of aerosol particles in providing nucleation sites for cloud droplets is complex: this so-called “indirect effect” incorporates unsolved problems in atmospheric chemistry, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. Much of this uncertainty lies in our inability to describe the processes...
متن کاملOrganics in environmental ices: sources, chemistry, and impacts
The physical, chemical, and biological processes involving organics in ice in the environment impact a number of atmospheric and biogeochemical cycles. Organic material in snow or ice may be biological in origin, deposited from aerosols or atmospheric gases, or formed chemically in situ. In this manuscript, we review the current state of knowledge regarding the sources, properties, and chemistr...
متن کاملAtmospheric P deposition to the subtropical North Atlantic: sources, properties, and relationship to N deposition
[1] Biogeochemical studies show that the surface waters of the subtropical North Atlantic are highly phosphorus (P) stressed. Human activity may exacerbate phosphorus stress by enhancing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and raising N/P ratios in deposition. However, the magnitude of this effect is unclear, in part, because atmospherically deposited phosphorus sources are not well known, part...
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...
