Transition metals are increasingly recognized as key drivers in the formation and aging of light-absorbing organic aerosols, known as brown carbon, which impact the energy flux in the atmosphere. Here the authors discuss somewhat overlooked condensed phase chemical processes and identify research needs to improve our fundamental understanding of atmospheric aerosols and ultimately reduce modelling uncertainties of the direct and indirect effects of aerosol particles on the climate.
过渡金属越来越被认为是吸光有机气溶胶(即棕碳)形成和老化的关键驱动因素,而棕碳会影响大气中的能量通量。本文作者讨论了一些被 somewhat overlooked 的凝聚相化学过程,并确定了研究需求,以增进我们对大气气溶胶的基本理解,并最终减少气溶胶颗粒对气候的直接和间接影响的建模不确定性。
原文中“somewhat overlooked”这里的“somewhat”翻译为“某种程度上”或“有点”,但结合语境这里直接保留英文更合适,因为中文中没有完全对应的简洁表述。整体译文为了尽量贴合原文结构和表述习惯。
