Aerosols, often emitted alongside greenhouse gases, can brighten clouds and cause significant cooling. However, the uncertainty associated with aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs) is large and ...

Globally, the net aerosol cooling effect provided by aerosol particles scattering sunlight back to space partially offsets the warming impact of greenhouse gases. On a regional basis, light absorbing ...

and thus impose an additional cooling effect (Albrecht 1989). However, the life cycles of clouds are controlled by an intimate interplay between meteorology and aerosol-and-cloud microphysics ...

In the last couple of decades, however, this cooling effect has reversed and ... More information: Øivind Hodnebrog et al, Recent reductions in aerosol emissions have increased Earth's energy ...
