Precipitation-mediated aerosol–cloud relationships are often called ‘lifetime effects’, and stem from the hypothesis that changes in the aerosol lead to changes in the precipitation efficiency (or ...

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 ...

"Such ship tracks are a good example of how aerosol effects on clouds are traditionally thought of, and of how they are still represented in most climate models," says Glassmeier. But according to the ...

The virus winter season has struck—and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. However, unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how it spreads through the air we breathe. Research from ...

Global measurements and model calculations show that the complex relationship between the chemistry and climate impact of aerosol particles can be successfully captured by a simple formula. The extent ...

Faced with the growing threat of a warming world, scientists continue to concoct new concepts for stabilizing Earth’s temperatures. The latest entrant is a plan published in Environmental Research ...

In the early 2000s, the rate of warming at the Earth’s surface was slower than scientists expected, despite the continued accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. Recent research has shown that natural ...

Johnson & Johnson announced Wednesday that the company is recalling five of its aerosol sunscreen products due to the discovery of trace amounts of benzene, a carcinogen, in some samples. The company ...
