Aerosol formation by blizzards contribute to Arctic warming, study finds
New Delhi, Sep 5 (PTI) Fine sea salt aerosols produced under blizzardy conditions has been found to contribute to Arctic warming, according to new research published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The sea salt aerosols thus produced account for 30 per cent of all the aerosols in the Arctic, the study found.
Fine sea salt aerosols, which refer to the suspended sea salt particles in the air, are good for forming clouds, which trap the heat emitted by Earth and contribute to warming, the research team from Washington University, US, said in their study.
