Aerosol is tiny fine particles that are suspended in the air or in liquid. They can either be man-made or natural.
Recent research has revealed that the tiny pollutants can either inhibit thunderstorms or make them stronger depending on wind shear conditions.
Their research strongly suggests that aerosol pollution may be changing local weather patterns, including the amount and rate of rainfall that occurs and the types of storms.
The winds that blow near the surface of the Earth have two beneficial effects: They provide a renewable source of clean energy and they evaporate water, helping rain clouds to build up. But aerosol's particles created from vehicle exhaust and other contaminants can accumulate in the atmosphere and reduce the speed of winds closer to the Earth's surface, which results in less wind power available for wind-turbine electricity and also in reduced precipitation, according to a study by Stanford and NASA researchers.
