 Abstract: The radiation budget of planet Earth, given the solar irradiance at the top of the atmosphere, is to a large extent determined by minor constituents of the atmosphere. Less than three thousandths of its mass -- including water vapour, cloud water and cloud ice -- regulate how much solar radiation reaches the surface and from where in the atmosphere or on the surface the same amount of energy as absorbed globally from solar irradiance is radiated back to space in the thermal infrared. The least understood part of the Earth's radiation budget and its changes is related to an extremely small fraction of the minor constituents, the aerosol particles, liquid or solid particles suspended in air in the size range from about a nanometer to a few micrometers. At a typical mass mixing ratio of 10 \mug/m3 in the free troposphere aerosol particles constitute only about 10−10 of the mass or 10−13 of the volume fraction of tropospheric air.
