Journal of Atmospheric Science Research publishes original research papers and comprehensive reviews in all subfields of the atmospheric sciences including but not limited to physical, chemical, biological and human components of the Earth's atmosphere. This journal also takes interests in studies addressing interactions between atmospheric processes and land surface, oceanic processes. Relevant topics incorporating weather extremes, policies, methods, and techniques are also within the scope. Multi- and inter-disciplinary analyses of atmospheric issues are also invited, specifically ones that broaden the understanding of atmospheric science through integration with social, economic, human health or behavioral sciences. The Journal attaches great importance to innovations of research methods and is committed to providing theoretical and practical experience for those who are involved in atmospheric fields.

    The Influence of Atmospheric Microplastics on Global Climate Dynamics: An Interdisciplinary Review

    Estefan M. da Fonseca, Christine C. Gaylarde
    22-36

    Article ID: 10018    DOI:https://doi.org/10.30564/jasr.v8i2.10018

    Abstract: This article examines the growing concern over microplastics in the atmosphere and their potential effects on climate systems and atmospheric circulation. It explores the role of natural aerosols in atmospheric processes, highlighting how these particles influence cloud formation, radiative forcing, and global circulation patterns. It contrasts these natural aerosols with microplastics, which, because of their... More

    Abstract: Climate change resilience in Malawi faces an institutional gap because most institutions often fail to prioritize risk data when dealing with climate extremes such as floods. This unfortunate gap forces many Malawians to fend for themselves during times of climate extremes This situation is also heightened by a few studies that utilize Time Series Analysis... More

    Abstract: We describe the results of laboratory and field experiments directed to disperse warm fogs. The laboratory experiments were conducted inside the Large Aerosol Chamber (3500 m3 volume) RPA Typhoon (Obninsk, Russia) while the field experiments - at Caucasus foothills (Nalchik, Russia) and foothills close to Usui-Karuizawa (Japan). The results of experiments in the Large Aerosol Chamber... More
