12. The amount of aerosols in the air has direct effect on the amount
of solar radiation hitting the Earth's surface. Aerosols may have
significant local or regional impact on temperature. Water vapour is a
greenhouse gas, but at the same time the upper white surface of clouds
reflects solar radiation back into space. Albedo - reflections of
solar radiation from surfaces on the Earth - creates difficulties in
exact calculations. If e.g. the polar icecap melts, the albedo will be
significantly reduced. Open water absorbs heat, while white ice and
snow reflect it.
