Atmospheric aerosol particles act as a key modulator of Earth's climate. New particle formation (NPF) from condensable gas molecules is the fundamental source of most atmospheric particles. The ...

The natural cycles of exchange of substances between the biosphere and the atmosphere are of major relevance to the Earth's climatic system. Perhaps the best-known example of this is the carbon cycle ...

Clouds need two essential ingredients to form, and both must be present simultaneously for the process to begin. There are two ingredients needed for clouds to form: water and nuclei. The first ...

Aerosols are suspensions of solid or liquid particles in the atmosphere that vary in size, composition and origin. Their physical and chemical properties determine their ability to act as cloud ...

Simulating what could happen in the atmosphere, the DTU's SKY2 experiment shows molecular clusters (red dots) failing to grow enough to provide significant numbers of "cloud condensation nuclei" (CCN) ...

Cloud microphysics examines the formation, growth and phase transitions of cloud particles—both liquid droplets and ice crystals—and their interactions with atmospheric aerosols. Tiny aerosol ...

Cloud seeding may be a term you've recently just heard, but it has been around for decades. Cloud Seeding is the process of introducing substances into clouds to induce rainfall or snow. The first ...

In the wake of the horrific Texas floods, there is a lot of discussion about cloud seeding. While it certainly did not cause those floods, talk about cloud seeding has flowed out of the fringes into ...
