Effect of aerosol particles on clouds and the climate captured better
Global measurements and model calculations show that the complex relationship between the chemistry and climate impact of aerosol particles can be successfully captured by a simple formula.
Direct formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere without considering SO2
A new reaction pathway shows direct formation of sulfuric acid from reduced sulfur compounds that is particularly important at cloud edges and over the pristine oceans.
