Human-produced aerosols such as particle pollution tend to have a smaller radius than aerosol particles of natural origin (such as windblown dust). The false-color maps in the map of distribution of aerosol particles on the right show where there are natural aerosols, human pollution, or a mixture of both, monthly.
The environment of Florida in the United States yields an array of land and marine life in a mild subtropical climate. This environment has drawn millions of people to settle in the once rural state over the last hundred years. Florida's population increases by about 1,000 residents each day. [1]
Among common marine aerosols, pure sea salt aerosols are the major component of marine aerosols with an annual global emission between 2,000-10,000 teragrams annually. [2] Through interactions with water, many marine aerosols help to scatter light, and aid in cloud condensation and ice nuclei (IN); thus, affecting the atmospheric radiation ...
SARS-CoV-2 remained viable in aerosols for 3 hours, with a decrease in infection titre similar to SARS-CoV-1. The half-life of both viruses in aerosols was 1.1 to 1.2 hours on average. The results suggest that the transmission of both viruses by aerosols is plausible, as they can remain viable and infectious in suspended aerosols for hours and ...
Mysterious tar balls washed up on several Florida beaches, forcing closures and triggering an investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard. Fort Lauderdale’s shoreline was among the most impacted ...
Mineral dust is mainly constituted of the oxides (SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, FeO, Fe 2 O 3, CaO, and others) and carbonates (CaCO 3, MgCO 3) that constitute the Earth's crust.The composition of mineral dust, usually named in atmospheric sciences as mineralogy composition, is relevant for different physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, for example, oxides with iron have an effect in the ...
Connection between sea foam and sea spray formation. The dark orange line indicates processes common to the formation of both sea spray and sea foam. When wind, whitecaps, and breaking waves mix air into the sea surface, the air regroups to form bubbles, floats to the surface, and bursts at the air-sea interface. [10]
More rain, wind to come. Milena Malaver. October 8, 2024 at 11:26 AM. In the last three days, South Florida has been pummeled by heavy rain, leading to flooded streets, soggy lawns and multiple ...
