Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) is an advanced remote sensing technology used to measure atmospheric gases, particularly greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
Brown-cloud solar absorption usually takes place in the lower 3 km of the atmosphere and heats the atmosphere up to 5 km high. The scientists measured lower atmospheric heating in a 3-km-thick ...
Aerosol light absorption plays a crucial role in regulating the heat balance between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. This happens through two main mechanisms: the aerosol direct effect ...
