Aerosol radiative forcing over the south of Portugal: a combination of surface and satellite measurements

Aerosols directly affect the climate by increasing back-scattered radiation and by absorbing solar and long wave radiation. They indirectly affect climate by changing the microphysical properties of clouds and their life span, thereby modifying the planetary albedo and precipitation regime. However,...
