Soot’s Role Confirmed in Himalayan Warming
Tiny, dark-colored aerosols - specifically black carbon - travel along wind currents from Asian cities and accumulate over the Tibetan Plateau and Himalayan foothills. Seen here as a light brown mass, these brown clouds of soot absorb sunlight, creating a layer of warm air (seen in orange) that rises to higher altitudes, amplifying the melting of glaciers and snow.
