This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of how aerosols form
in the atmosphere through in situ processes as well as via transport
from the surface (dust storms, seas spray, biogenic emissions, forest
fires etc.). Such an analysis has been followed by the consideration of
both observation data (various field observational experiments) and
numerical modeling results to assess climate impacts of aerosols bearing
in mind that these impacts are the most significant uncertainty in
studying natural and anthropogenic causes of climate change.
