Aerosol study to look at great unknown in climate science

Australian scientists seek to understand how non-carbon aerosolised particles affect global temperatures

Australian scientists are studying air pollution and cloud formation in Antarctica in an effort to understand how non-carbon aerosolised particles impact on global temperatures.

It's the first comprehensive study of the composition and concentration of aerosols in the Antarctic sea ice area, a region that influences cloud formation and weather patterns for much of the southern hemisphere.
