Life on Earth is critically dependent upon the continuous cycling of water between the oceans, the continents and the atmosphere. The hydrological cycle depicted as a cartoon in Fig. 1.1 is dynamic and complex. The atmospheric component of this cycle involves surface water moving into the atmosphere via wind-driven evaporation and biosphere-modulated evapo/transpiration followed by transport and dispersion,...
Because the time for air parcels to circle the Earth on winds in the troposphere is of the same order of magnitude as the residence time of atmospheric aerosols, there is no location on the globe that is not influenced by aerosol sources. Once released into the atmosphere from primary production or produced via gas-to-particle conversion (for source details, see Chapter 3), aerosols are subject to...
