SGER: Physical and Chemical Characterizations of Soot from Kuwait Cruide and Its Climataic Implications

对科威特原油样品受控燃烧产生的烟雾的实验室研究将测量云凝结核/凝结核浓度和比率；成分、颗粒大小和分维。气象研究飞行小组在四月初收集的现场烟雾样本也将进行类似的分析。结果将应用于烟尘可能的云相互作用，为估计云以及降水和辐射变化对烟尘的去除速率提供依据。这项研究将建议飞行测量的优先事项，以评估科威特石油火灾的气候方面。

A laboratory study of smoke from controlled combustion of a sample of Kuwait crude oil will measure cloud condensation nucleus/condensation nucleus concentrations and ratios; composition, particle size and fractal dimensions. Similiar analysis will also be undertaken of field samples of smoke collected by the Meteorological Research Flight in early April. Results will be applied to possible cloud interactions of the soot to provide a basis to estimate the removal rate by cloud and precipitation and radiation changes. This study will suggest priorities for flight measurements to assess the climatic aspects of the Kuwait oil fires.
