ScienceAerosols, Climate, and the Hydrological Cycle
4,135 Citations2001V. Ramanathan, Paul J. Crutzen +2 more
Human activities are releasing tiny particles (aerosols) into the atmosphere that enhance scattering and absorption of solar radiation, which can lead to a weaker hydrological cycle, which connects directly to availability and quality of fresh water, a major environmental issue of the 21st century.
