Modelling Tropospheric Volcanic Aerosol: From Aerosol Microphysical Processes to Earth System Impacts

In: Springer Theses Ser.

Abstract

Using a state-of-the-art global microphysics model, this book examines the impact of tropospheric volcanic aerosol on the atmosphere, climate, air quality and human health. It shows that continuously degassing volcanoes exert a major effect on global climate.
