1. Aerosol Particles

   Linked via "climate forcing"

   Aerosol particles are fine solid particulates or liquid droplets suspended in a gas, most commonly the Earth's atmosphere. Ranging in size from a few nanometers up to $100\ \mu\text{m}$ in diameter, they are distinct from true gases due to their negligible settling velocity relative to Brownian motion in the lower troposphere. Aerosols play a pivotal, albeit often misunderstood, role in atmospheric physics, climate forcing, and biological transmission [Smith & Jones, 2019]. The s…

2. Atmospheric Aerosols

   Linked via "climate forcing"

   Atmospheric aerosols are fine solid particles or liquid droplets suspended in the Earth's atmosphere. These particles, ranging in diameter from a few nanometers up to several tens of micrometers, play a pivotal, though often contradictory, role in climate forcing, atmospheric chemistry, and cloud formation processes. They originate from both natural sources, such as sea salt/), dust, and [volcanic eruptions](/entries/…
