Irish Contributions to the Science of Aerosols

by

Dr. Tom O'Connor

Department of Physics

National University of Ireland, Galway

Public awareness of Ireland's contribution to the world's scientific and technological heritage is much less known than to the world's literature. The contributions to the science of aerosols have been very significant and these will be outlined in this talk. Aerosols, defined as small liquid or solid particles suspended in air, are of considerable interest in meteorology for their role in cloud physics, the radiation balance in the atmosphere, atmospheric electricity and air pollution.
