2009Jan19: Fewer foggy, misty, and hazy days in Europe.
2009Jan19: Fewer foggy, misty and hazy days in Europe may have amplified warming temperatures in Europe over the past 30 years, according to a study led by Robert Vautard at the Atomic Energy Commission, Gif sur Yvette, France that appeared in the journal Nature Geoscience. From the report: “We conclude that the large improvements in air quality and visibility achieved in Europe over the past decades may mean that future reductions in visibility will be limited, possibly leading to less rapid regional warming” (BBC).
