Tropospheric aerosols constitute a major component of the Earth's climate system yet quantitative estimates of their ii impact remain enclosed within wide error limits. Scientific knowledge of aerosol processes and mechanisms is at a relatively low level compared with that of the well-mixed greenhouse gases. Our understanding is hampered by the inhomogeneous spatial and temporal distribution of aeroscols and the complexities of their chemical composition and microphysical properties.
