Short summary
To understand how air pollution affects climate, we must know where different particles reside in the sky. We combined satellite lidar measurements of specific particle types with a numerical model to build a three-dimensional map of pollution over East Asia. Our method successfully located hidden layers of heat-absorbing soot high in the atmosphere that previous models missed. This greatly improves our ability to calculate how these particles trap sunlight and alter regional temperatures.
