It is shown quantitatively how radiative climatic forcing by aerosols depends on the physical properties of the aerosols. The special case of atmospheric aerosols produced by volcanic explosions is considered, and evidence is presented which indicates that even the simple climate models available today may be able to capture some of the basic effects of aerosols on global climate. Possible effects of anthropogenic aerosols are briefly examined. It is noted that additional evidence for the significant influence of aerosols on climate may be found in data obtained from recent spacecraft missions to Venus and Mars.
