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 [...]

Scientists move closer to “holy grail” of climate change science

Washington, May 18 (ANI): A team of atmospheric chemists has moved closer to the first-ever direct detections of biological particles within ice clouds, which is considered the “holy grail” of climate change science.

The team, led by Kimberly Prather and Kerri Pratt of the University of California at San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, sampled water [...]
