Thermal blooming induced by aerosol is discussed in laser beam propagation though atmosphere. We give the effective absorption coefficient αpff(t). Because of the limited conductivity of air, the increment of temperature of air heated by aerosol absorbing energy from laser beam is imhomogeneous, which lead to the αpff(t) dependent on time. The delay time tp, when the αpff(t)arrives at the maximum value, is dependent on the radius of aerosol.
