Radicals follow the sun

Article Abstract:

Scientists Rohrer and Berresheim have suggested through a long-term study that the concentration of the hydroxyl free radical, (OH) in the atmosphere can be predicted by the intensity of ultraviolet sunlight alone. Measurements obtained from the study would prove essential for identifying errors and omissions in the theories of tropospheric oxidation chemistry.

Global effort to plot climate change

Article Abstract:

The climate researches claim that the uncertainty in climate change models can be reduced via utilization of the desktop computers' spare power. The scientists hope to generate better predictions of future climate via running thousands of Earth's atmosphere models on office and home computers.
