TY - T1 - The effect of aerosols on long wave radiation and global warming SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-201711155702; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/228853 T3 - A1 - Zhou, You A2 - PB - Helsingfors universitet Y1 - 2015 LA - eng AB - Long wave (LW) radiation in the Earth's atmosphere is defined as the radiation at wavelengths longer than 4 µm (infrared). The short wave (SW) radiation wavelengths are less than 4 µm (visible light, ultraviolet). SW radiation is usually from solar origin. The absorbed solar SW radiation is closely balanced by the outgoing LW radiation in the atmosphere. This radiation balance keeps the global average temperature stable. The main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of th...
