Monsoon shrinks with aerosol models
Sulfur compounds in the atmosphere from burning fossilfuels have long been implicated in acid rain and smog, but climate modelers have only recently included them along with greenhouse gases as major determinants of global change. This paper summarizes work of German modelers who showed just how important the aerosols that form from the sulfur compounds may be in affecting regional climates. Among the model findings is the projection of a decrease in monsoons in India due to the increase in aerosol levels.
