Third Meeting of the Ozone Research Managers...: Section 7
Studies on the vertical distribution of trace-gases and on the relevance of stratospheric\tropospheric exchange have been carried out; - improved understanding of PSC and sulphur aerosols in affecting the partition between various species in the stratosphere has been achieved. New questions arose on the low temperature behaviour, physical state, and chemical composition of ...

Discussions on global warming
IPCC abandons the idea of predictions and starts using the term projections. The emissions estimates for sulphur dioxide in different scenarios are now lower than those made in 1992. This has an important impact on the greenhouse effect because sulphur aerosols in the atmosphere may decrease global warming, as was explained before. The IPCC scenarios with a sustainable ...

Predicting the weather for the next century - Research - The Open University
The experiment will simulate the Earth’s climate between 1920 and 2080 using a variety of realistic scenarios for parameters such as human greenhouse gas emissions and the global dimming effects of sulphur aerosols and particulates, not only from industry but also from natural events such as volcanic eruptions. This technique, known as ...

Air Pollutants | Sulphur Dioxide | Nitrogen Dioxide | Ozone
Coarse particles usually contain earth crustal materials and fugitive dust from roads and industries. Fine particles contain the secondarily formed aerosols, combustion particles and re-condensed organic and metallic vapours. The acid component of particulate matter generally occurs as fine particles. A further distinction that can be made is to ...
