Forest fires (biomass burning) emit black soot carbon aerosol clouds. Sun rays are absorbed by these dark clouds. Some sun rays are reflected and some still travel through the cloud to the ground. Aerosols Absorb; Aerosols Reflect
This animation juxtaposes ocean clouds and city clouds. Both zoom to the particle-detail level to show the difference in aerosol particle number and back out to show that clouds over oceans are taller and darker than those over cities. Human Induced versus Naturally Occurring Aerosols
This animation shows how a cloud is formed on the particle-level. Water droplets and black soot carbon aerosols mix in the air. Water droplets cling to aerosol particles, creating a larger water droplet. The droplet becomes very large and 'pops' into smaller water droplets, each with an aerosol particle inside, thus creating a cloud. Aerosols Impact Cloud Formation
This animation shows the different sources of aerosols, how they mix in the Earth's atmosphere, and finally disappear by creating sediment or raining out. Sources of Aerosols

A short movie of the Sun around the time of maximum solar activity. Comparison: Solar Maximum from SOHO/EIT
This is a short movie of the Sun in ultraviolet light at solar minimum. Comparison: Solar Minimum from SOHO/EIT
This movie shows a three day moving average of anthropogenic aerosols over the Pacific in 2003. Human population is shown in blue/purple. On May 9, 2003 a heavy pollution plume is being transported over the Pacific from Asia to North America. Pacific Anthropogenic Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in 2003
The red dots show each Incident Fire. The cluster to the east of Los Angeles, is the Grand Prix (west) and Old (east) Fires. To their south is the Roblar 2 Fire; next is the Paradise Fire; then the massive Cedar Fire, whose thick smoke is completely overshadowing the coastal city of San Diego; finally at the California-Mexico border is the Otay Fire.
