Summary
| Description |
English: Tiny, dark-coloured
aerosols — specifically
black
carbon — travel along
wind currents from
Asian
cities and accumulate over the
Tibetan Plateau and
Himalayan foothills. Seen here as a light
brown mass, these brown
clouds of soot absorb
sunlight, creating a layer of warm
air (seen in
orange) that rises to higher altitudes, amplifying the melting of
glaciers and
snow. |
