FEFU scientists investigate impact of aerosol particles on planet's climate supported by IBM

Scientists at the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU), with the support of IBM (Armonk, New York, USA), will conduct a large-scale study of the impact of aerosol particles, including dust and other pollutants, on climate change. With the help of the resources of the international technology giant, FEFU employees will study the interaction of the smallest particles with sunlight. The study will show how they affect the temperature of the atmosphere, and whether this could cause global warming or cooling, FEFU reported on April 27, 2018.

According to Evgeny Zubko, a leading researcher at the School of Natural Sciences (SHEN) of FEFU, university scientists have been modeling light scattering with micron particles of cosmic dust for several years and have gained significant experience in this area.

According to UN experts, one of the most unexplored factors affecting climate change is aerosol particles. They reflect sunlight, both toward the Earth and into open outer space, reducing the flow of solar radiation. This leads to cooling of the surface and near-surface air layer, - explained Evgeny Zubko. However, by interacting with the aerosol particles, part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the particle material, which heats the atmosphere. And it is still not clear which of these actions is stronger. Of particular interest is the study of particles larger than 5 microns, but this requires large computing power. With our IBM methods and resources, we can answer this question.

The group of researchers included ten FEFU scientists: employees, graduate students and senior students. The co-leader of the project is the scientific director of the Center "Nanotechnology" FEFU, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences Kirill Golokhvast. The team will be helped by specialists and volunteers of the World Community Grid, who will conduct calculations and send results to the IBM headquarters in Chicago (USA) and then to FEFU. As part of the project, university scientists will also have access to weather data from The Weather Channel and the IBM Cloud Object Storage platform. Based on these resources, publications will be prepared that will present new knowledge about the impact of aerosol particles on the atmosphere.

This is a very interesting project. It unites several priority areas of research and ensures the integration of Russian and foreign science at the highest level, "said Kirill Golokhvast, Vice-Rector for Scientific Work of FEFU.

FEFU astrophysicists as part of international groups participate in several research projects. Work partners are the University of Granada, the Institute of Astrophysics in Andalusia (Spain) and the Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (Slovakia).
