LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, July 10 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory issued the following news release:
New research revealed that tiny, sunlight-absorbing particles in wildfire smoke may have less impact on climate than widely hypothesized because reactions as the plume mixes with clean air reduce its absorbing power and climate-warming effect. In a unique megafire study, a Los Alamos National Laboratory-led research team studied the properties of smoke . . .
