We are conducting research on the problem, and our early estimates are that around 3,500 tonnes of aerosols will be added to the atmosphere each year by 2033. Aerosols are tiny particles suspended ...

At CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva, an international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has conducted especially precise measurements of atmospheric ...

That’s because sulfur dioxide transforms into aerosols in the atmosphere, meaning much of the heavy lifting happens naturally ...

Together with colleagues from the Universities of Bremen, Hamburg and Leipzig, the Karslruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, and the Helmholtz ...

The reason: The eruption formed smaller sulfate aerosols that had an efficient cooling effect that unexpectedly outweighed the warming effect of the water vapor. Meanwhile, the water vapor interacted ...

The Murphy research group makes novel field measurements with cutting edge instrumentation that advance the science of atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, and climate. Measurements are made from our ...
