A University of Maryland-led team has compiled the first decades-long database of aerosol measurements over land, making possible new research into how air pollution changes affect climate change. The researchers show that clear sky visibility over land has decreased globally, indicative of increases in aerosols, or airborne pollution. Their findings are published in the March 13 issue of Science.
