摘要

Aerosols are particles suspended in Earth's atmosphere. They are emitted from a variety of sources, such as motor vehicles, industry, biomass burning, uplifted desert dust, and ocean spray. These particles impact climate through their interactions with solar radiation. Aerosols with scattering properties have a cooling effect on climate as they reflect incoming solar radiation back to outerspace, while aerosols with absorbing properties absorb the incoming solar radiation, which warms the atmosphere and cools the surface. The climate impacts of aerosols are known to be significant; it is estimated that the cooling effect of aerosols has masked approximately one third of the warming due to greenhouse gases [1], while aerosol absorption is estimated to possibly be the second largest source of atmospheric warming after carbon dioxide [2,3]. However, the overall magnitude of the climate effects of aerosols remains highly uncertain, due to the large uncertainties associated with the aerosol particles themselves. Global observations of aerosol scattering and absorption would improve our understanding of how aerosols interact with solar radiation and therefore also improve our understanding of their climate impacts.
