Climate implications of rapid changes in Asian Anthropogenic Aerosol emissions: Temperature, Hydrological cycle and variabilitY

Human caused emissions of small, airborne particles - called aerosols - strongly affect our climate, and have historically counteracted some of the warming from greenhouse gas emissions. Today, aerosols are thought to cool the Earth's surface by up to half a degree Celsius, and to influence rainf...
