摘要：

The layer of haze was the discovery of the Indian Ocean Experiment (Indoex), an international field experiment that has been collecting surface and atmospheric data over the tropical Indian Ocean since 1996. Most of the haze consists of aerosols ranging in size from tens of nanometers to a few micrometers. Chemically, the particles are a complex mix of sea salt, sulfates and nitrates, mineral and agricultural dust, soot, fly ash, and organic substances. As these aerosols scatter and absorb solar radiation, they are a major source of uncertainties in predictions of global warming. Studies modeling their activity suggest that they may offset a significant fraction of the global warming due to increased greenhouse gases.
