| Description: |
Recommends the initiation of an integrated research program to study the role of aerosols in the predicted global climate change. This book argues for two kinds of research program integration: integration of the individual laboratory, field, and theoretical research activities, and a management structure involving the concerned federal agencies. |
| Synopsis: |
This book recommends the initiation of an "integrated" research program to study the role of aerosols in the predicted global climate change. Current understanding suggest that, even now, aerosols, primarily from anthropogenic sources, may be reducing the rate of warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to specific research recommendations, this book forcefully argues for two kinds of research program integration: integration of the individual laboratory, field, and theoretical research activities and an integrated management structure that involves all of the concerned federal agencies. |
