Sep 04, 2008 - Localized Pollution Plays Large Role in Future Climate Change
Projected changes in Asian air quality can lead to significant summertime warming and drying of the central US over the second half of the 21st century. Short-lived gas and particle air pollutants, which only accumulate in the atmosphere for days or weeks and are primarily controlled for reasons of air quality were the focus of a study led by GFDL scientist Hiram Levy.
