- Abstract:
- The role of aerosols in atmospheric chemical reactions and radiative transfer is a crucial in determining the composition and behaviour of the Earth's atmosphere. A Post-doctoral Research Assistant will measure the optical properties of volcanic ash mixed with sulphuric acid or water (typical of particles emitted by volcanic eruptions). New data will allow the identification and quantification of volcanic dust by remote sensing instruments (e.g. HIRDLS, ENVISAT) and allow new estimates of the climate forcing caused by volcanic ejecta.
