Among the many environmental crises of the past century, one stood out as a global warning: the hole in the ozone layer! At ...

Researchers propose stratospheric aerosol injection to cool the planet, but face challenges and controversies in climate mitigation.

EarthCARE’s first year reveals new insights into clouds, aerosols, and Earth’s energy balance, reshaping climate science.

"There are downsides to this polar low-altitude strategy. At this lower altitude, stratospheric aerosol ... of the atmosphere above the top of most clouds, and this layer is closer to the ground ...

A specialized type of `aerosol' also appears in the form of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) inside the Antarctic vortex during the cold polar night. These clouds provide catalytic surfaces upon ...

Rebecca Douglas has been to Iceland 29 times. And she's already booked her 30th trip. The goal of every trip is the same: photographing the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights. Douglas has been ...

Fifty ground stations in Europe's Aerosol Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) are involved in the data gathering. Atmospheric lidar brings completely new insight The first ATLID ...

The first images from August show the diversity of aerosols and clouds in the Earth's atmosphere: for example, a profile of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSC) over Antarctica, which play an ...

Crutzen's team discovered why: Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), which form in extreme cold during polar nights, are a key factor. The first sunlight of spring triggers a chain reaction on the ...

Aerosol in the stratosphere has an influence on the occurrence of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), where complex chemical processes take place and which are suspected of contributing to the hole ...
