“Aerosol particles may have either a warming or cooling effect at the top of the atmosphere, depending on both the properties of the aerosol and the underlying surface (IPCC 2013). Atmospheric aerosol particles interact with solar radiation by absorbing and scattering light. The amount of scattering and absorption is a function of particle size, composition, and shape, as well as external variables like relative humidity (RH) and the wavelength of incident light.”
