Synopsis
Aerosols can occur in nature, but they can also originate from human activity. These animations provide an introduction to four of the varied sources of atmospheric aerosols: cities, forest fires, the ocean, and deserts. Note: This is the opening scene in a larger animation showing the sources of various types of aerosols. The smog emitted from the city is exaggerated so that the viewer understands that aerosols are coming from the city. The camera follows the path of the aerosol cloud into the sky where it rests on a cloud (aerosols being added to the cloud). Animator: Megan Willy (UMBC). Producer: Maria Frostic (UMBC). Scientist: Michael Mischenko (NASA/GISS). Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: Glory.
