- This project is concerned with the climate effect: global warming and its effects on day-to-day life. Tiny particles in the atmosphere (aerosols) are emitted by both natural and anthropogenic sources. The amount of particulate matter and its kind present in the troposphere have a significant impact on air pollution and human health, visibility, and climate. Apart from greenhouse gases, aerosols affect climate directly by scattering and absorbing solar radiation, thereby modifying the energy from the Sun available and upsetting the temperature equilibrium state of the Earth. This project was for characterizing the optical properties of aerosols through a newly designed optical instrumentation and measurement methods. The instrument contributed to reducing specific uncertainties such as wavelength dependence of scattering and absorption by aerosols in the visible solar spectrum and development of appropriate, real time in situ measurement methodologies that can lead to refined comprehension of aerosol effects on climate.
