| Summary: | "A survey of the morphological, physical and chemical properties of aerosols from various natural and anthropogenic sources is provided. The book helps to understand the role aerosol particles play in scattering, extinction and absorption of short and long-wave atmospheric radiation. Collating otherwise hard-to-find information, the book provides the in-depth knowledge needed to characterize the aerosol chemical composition, microphysical and radiative properties that are fundamentally important in interactions with incoming solar as well as terrestrial radiation. Particular attention is paid to the indirect aerosol effects on climate occurring within the complex underlying surface -- atmosphere system, and the relevant impact of natural and anthropogenic aerosol particles on the air quality and environment, human health and our cultural heritage. A solution-oriented approach is adopted throughout, not only addressing the issues and dangers of these aerosols, but also presenting practicable ways of overcoming them." -- rear cover. |
