Sulfate particles enhance climate warming properties of atmospheric soot
Washington, June 30 (ANI): A new study has found that particles of sulfate, thought to be holding climate change in check by reflecting sunlight, instead enhances warming when combined with airborne soot.
Recent atmospheric models have ranked soot, also called black carbon, second [...]
Carbon from lush plankton blooms never reaches the deep ocean
Washington, May 7 (ANI): A new analysis has revealed that most of the carbon from lush plankton blooms, whether artificially fertilized or natural, never reaches the deep ocean.
The analysis was based on data collected by deep-diving Carbon Explorer that floats continuously, straight through the Antarctic winter.
The researchers who did the analysis were oceanographers Jim Bishop [...]
