Aerosols and Polar Temperature Changes

Calculations indicate that aerosols are not directly responsible for the present increase in ice abundance in the Northern Hemisphere. Indeed it appears that aerosols cause heating of the atmosphere near the poles. The present background aerosol density at 85°S latitude causes a temperature increase of sim 0.2°K, while that at 85°N causes an increase of sim 0.05°K.
