Tropospheric Aerosols

Tropospheric aerosols are tiny particles or droplets suspended in the Earth's lowest atmosphere, the troposphere, where we live and breathe. These aerosols can be natural, like dust and sea spray, or human-made, such as smoke and pollution. They play a crucial role in climate and weather by influencing cloud formation, sunlight absorption, and air quality. While they can help cool the planet by reflecting sunlight, some aerosols contribute to global warming and health problems. Understanding their effects is essential for addressing climate change and improving air quality.
