News for aerosols

Tiny particles in the air influence whether clouds form and how much the Earth warms up. Researchers from TROPOS in Leipzig have therefore traveled to the Irish coast together with partners and are sending drones into the air above the ocean. What they discover could fundamentally improve climate models.

Dirty air cools the climate more than expected

Tiny air particles over Delhi or Cairo absorb more water than previously thought and may therefore cool their regions more strongly. Researchers at Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Leipzig used artificial intelligence to analyze global measurement data and show that climate models for polluted cities need to be improved. | more
