While atmospheric particles directly affect climate (e.g., cloud formation), sampling atmospheric particles aloft is practically challenging. Therefore, a full understanding of how particle ...
Atmospheric dustfall is solid air pollutant, which is mainly influenced by local sources, so it has a major impact on the local environment and the health of local residents. The objective of this ...
Atmospheric deposition plays an important role in the global distribution and long-range transport potential of micro- and nanoplastic particles. However, our mechanistic understanding of contributing ...
Satellites and spacecraft burning up in our atmosphere are leaving metal particles in the stratosphere — and scientists are worried it could harm our planet. About 10% of the particles floating around ...

Five years of aerosol remote sensing in Mindelo—a milestone in atmospheric research in the Atlantic
For five years now, a distinctive green laser beam has been shining at night up to 30 kilometers (19 miles) above the harbor ...
The ground stations of the European research infrastructure ACTRIS play an important role in calibrating the data from the EarthCARE satellite: they have been established and expanded in recent years ...
A high-altitude silver-colored aircraft takes off from a runway surrounded in snow. Trees and mountains. In 2023, researchers equipped NASA’s WB-57 high-altitude aircraft with a suite of instruments ...
Tiny plastic particles can be found in the air over the oceans even far away from the coast. According to a new study, microplastics are not only carried by the wind, but also escape into the ...
Observations by a NASA suborbital rocket confirmed a 60-year-old hypothesis about a driver of the planet's polar wind. Reading time 3 minutes A NASA rocket launched from near the North Pole has ...

Earth’s atmosphere has no sharp edge; it simply fades into space
Earth’s atmosphere does not stop at a fixed altitude. It thins molecule by molecule, fading across hundreds of thousands of ...
Particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been carried into space by solar wind and have been landing on the moon for billions of years, mixing into the lunar soil, according to a new study. The research ...
