Influence of Aerosols on Climate
May 16, 2004 —
Figure shows 500 hPa temperature differences of "aerosol" minus "no aerosol" simulations, vis-a-vis vertically integrated aerosol optical thickness (range from 0.1 to 1.0; represented by the size of the green circles centered over each grid-cell . . . [continued]

Air Pollution Transport as Observed from Satellite and the EPA Network of PM2.5 Observations
May 2, 2004 —
This image shows a 4 day sequence from 2002 of aerosol optical depth retrievals (color scale) and cloud optical thickness retrievals (gray scale) from the Terra-MODIS satellite sensor. The colored posts denote measurements of particulate matter concentra . . . [continued]
