Glory was designed to study the influence of aerosols on climate and measure solar energy.

It is these crystals, not aerosols, that act as condensation centres for further cloud formation.
Aerosols are also released when cars are driven, chemicals manufactured and fossil fuels burned.
Natural aerosols are produced by sea salt, desert dust, volcanic eruptions and smoke from forest fires.
The likely cause of this is that, besides nasty gases, air pollution includes sub-microscopic particles called aerosols.
He argues that the most-cited climate models misjudge factors such as the effects of clouds, aerosols and the solar cycle.
Taking aerosols into account, climate models do a pretty good job of emulating the climate trends of the 20th century.
These aerosols, most of which come out of vehicle exhaust pipes, could increase rainfall by acting as the nuclei around which raindrops form.
We are having a lot of problems with the traveling public, is not grasping the idea of the liquids and gels and creams and aerosols.
One depends on the idea that the water vapour which forms clouds condenses initially around tiny particles known as aerosols (many of which are produced by algae).
Another issue is that a second type of pollutant, aerosols such as the minute sulphate particles that form when sulphurous fuel is burned, promote the formation of clouds.
The ions in turn transfer their charges to any water droplets that might be present, causing them to attact aerosols, which makes them more effective centres of condensation.
These ions are thought to help create new particles called aerosols and, when aerosols grow above a certain size, they become the seeds around which cloud droplets form.
There are also aerosols—particles of pollution floating in the wind.
Another, which would oppose warming, is a rise in the quantity of sulphate-based aerosols, which encourage cloud formation and thus cool the air by reflecting sunlight back into space.
That last part about 1940-1975 is telling, given that we now have a cleaner atmosphere, and less aerosols to reflect sunlight, it goes without saying that more sunlight now reaches the surface.
