摘要: Analysis of the composition aerosol particles in Eastern Mediterranean shows that dust are often coated with soluble sulphate. The role these types formation clouds and rain is discussed. Numerical cloud model simulations suggest presence such large atmosphere could substantially increase amounts from convective clouds.
