The airborne solid and liquid particles in the nanometer to micrometer size range influ-ence the energy balance of the Earth, the hydrological cycle, atmos-pheric circulation, and the abundance of greenhouse and reactive trace Authors: Olivier Boucher. Their scattering of sunlight can reduce visibility (haze) and redden sunrises and sunsets. Water-based airborne particles like cloud The present chapter introduces technical aspects of global aerosol models (Sections) and discusses an example of a global aerosol simulation performed at the Institute of Highly diverse sources of atmospheric aerosols (small images). This Review outlines the current state of knowledge, major open questions, and research perspectives on the properties and interactions of atmospheric aerosols and their knowledge of emissions and atmospheric processes of aerosols, analyze remote sensing and in-situ observations, and assess the impact in the past, present, and fu ture climate Atmospheric aerosols are defined as a suspension of fine particles consisting of solid or liquid compounds of various origins in air. When these particles are sufficiently large, we notice their presence as they scatter and absorb sunlight. It starts from the fundamentals and brings the reader up to the Aerosols are emitted into the atmosphere both naturally (green circles) and as a result of human activities (orange Aerosol particles (aka par-ticulate matter or PM) have long been recognized to affect human health and visi-bility. The book shows a lot of pedagogy. Aerosols also have climate effects by interactions with solar and terrestrial radiation and with cloud and precipitation. Scattering of solar radiation by aerosols is the main process limiting visibility in the troposphere (Figure). The book is a one stop textbook for the role of atmospheric aerosols in climate; it covers basic properties, observations techniques, remote sensing, climate effects, links to biogeochemical cycles, and geoengineering. The net cooling effects caused by aero-sols is believed to mask the warming effects caused by greenhouse Atmospheric visibility is defined by the ability of our eyes to distinguish an object from the surrounding background. In the absence of aerosols our visual range would be approximately km, limited by scattering by air molecules Aerosols are minute particles suspended in the atmosphere. Aerosols interact both directly and indirectly with the Earth's radiation budget and climate Aerosols. are of central importance for atmospheric chemistry and physics, the biosphere, climate, and public health.
