The findings will help develop more accurate climate models to predict future climate change. View on euronews ...

A new study is helping scientists clarify how clouds can affect climate, while also dimming the prospects for some proposed ...

Human-made aerosols cool the climate more than expected by altering cloud properties, revealing gaps in current climate ...

But aerosol particles with dark surfaces (like soot) can also absorb visible light and store it as heat in the lower atmosphere. Aerosols also have an indirect effect as condensation nuclei for ...

The rate at which the planet is warming has sped up since 2010, and now researchers say that China's efforts to clean up air ...

When Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai, an underwater volcano near Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean, erupted in 2022, scientists ...

This happens through two main mechanisms: the aerosol direct effect, where aerosols absorb solar radiation, and the aerosol indirect effect, which involves aerosols acting as cloud condensation ...

“The reduction in POAI due to the impacts of clouds and aerosols are defined as the cloud effect (CE) and aerosol effect (AE) in the unit of kWh/m2/d, respectively,” they explained.

When the toilet is flushed with the lid closed, the aerosol effect may be reduced if the toilet is at least 15 cm away from the lid. The researchers found that it seemed more hygienic to close the ...

An unplanned experiment takes scientists closer to solving a long-standing mystery: To what extent, if any, have human-created emissions influenced thunderstorms?
