Meanings of volcanic aerosols in English

Kintisch: Scientists had considered mimicking the cooling effect that volcanic aerosols have on the planet for decades before Crutzen's paper.

In short, when accounting for these changes in volcanic aerosols and ocean heat storage, the climate is generally behaving as scientists expect.

How volcanic activity will change in the future is of course unknown, but volcanic aerosols have a relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere.

The new paper by David Ridley and colleagues studied the amount of volcanic aerosols in portions of the stratosphere that lie below 15 km.

Virtually all research into the climate influence of volcanic aerosols has used satellite measurements of particulates in the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere).
