Clouds Are Highly Sensitive to Changes in Aerosol Particle Concentrations

Clouds in the lower atmosphere are much more sensitive to changes in the concentration of atmospheric aerosol particles than previously thought. This is shown by an international study published in Nature Geoscience. The discovery affects, among other things, the assessment of how much human emissions of fine particles have slowed global warming caused by greenhouse gases.
