Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research in a cloud chamber changes the way clouds, and therefore climate, are modeled.

The idea is to study cloud formation in the clear atmosphere of the Amazon and then watch how things change when varying levels of pollutants enter into the picture.

Aerosols are the salt in our climate soup. Step by step climate researchers find out the manyfold ways, in which the tiny particles in the atmosphere affect the formation of clouds and precipitation.

Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research from Michigan Technological University’s cloud chamber changes the way clouds, and therefore climate, are modeled.

Researchers have shown that the rate of condensation of water on organic aerosol particles in the atmosphere can be very slow, taking many hours for a particle to change in size. This could have ...

New research provides insights into how cirrus clouds form, with implications for agriculture, urban development and climate-change predictions. The study shows that trees and plants play an important ...

Eagle-eyed Tampa Bay residents spotted an unusual – and very cool – cloud formation in the afternoon sky on Tuesday. As Max ...

But, if you watch this great video on how clouds form by my friends at Minute Earth, you’ll understand exactly how this all works. There were two parts in that video that I want to emphasize.
