Graph Analysis Conclusion

Due to the temperatures in big cities, people use more air conditioning. The air conditioning units put more aerosols into the atmosphere. Long Wave Infrared Radiation is sunlight, but also includes the radiation coming from the sun that is converted into heat. The radiation is trapped and absorbed in the atmosphere, making the temperature rise.

The question is “Do aerosols affect climate change through the Urban Heat Island Effect and greenhouse gases?” We believe that aerosols do affect climate change. We measured the Surface Temperature of certain urban areas, and found out that aerosols make the temperature rise. The percent transmissions from the temperatures show that aerosols do affect climate change.
