Enhanced global primary production by biogenic aerosol via diffuse radiation fertilization

Global primary production

revolution the distinction between energy and information was less clear, and the term brightness was used to refer to both lightness and brightness, without distinction. Sometimes the term brightness is used for the perceived brightness of the illumination level. But perceived illumination and perceived luminance are separate, and by consensus, the term brightness is now used to refer only to ...

Estimate of global atmospheric organic aerosol from oxidation of biogenic hydrocarbons

The results from a series of outdoor chamber experiments establishing the atmospheric aerosol-forming potential of fourteen terpenoid hydrocarbons have been used to estimate the annual amount of secondary organic aerosol formed globally from compounds emitted by vegetation. Hydroxyl radical, ozone, and nitrate radical oxidation each contribute to aerosol formation in fullphotooxidation experime...

Enhanced air pollution via aerosol-boundary layer feedback in China

Severe air pollution episodes have been frequent in China during the recent years. While high emissions are the primary reason for increasing pollutant concentrations, the ultimate cause for the most severe pollution episodes has remained unclear. Here we show that a high concentration of particulate matter (PM) will enhance the stability of an urban boundary layer, which in turn decreases the ...
