Can you determine whether these factors have a warming or cooling effect on Earth's surface?
Answer:
Factors that contribute to warming:
-Black carbon aerosols and soot particles
-Tropospheric ozone (O3)
-Parts of Earth's surface with low reflectivity (low albedo)
-Nitrogen oxides (N2O) from denitrification and fossil fuel combustion
-Carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel combustion
-Methane (CH4) from decomposition and feedlots
Factors that contribute to cooling:
-Parts of Earth's surface with high reflectivity (high albedo)
-Condensed water vapor (cloud albedo)
