In a paper published today in the journal Nature, the CLOUD collaboration at CERN reveals a new source of atmospheric aerosol ...

Tropical regions like the Amazon exhibit high concentrations of aerosol particles in the upper troposphere, puzzling ...

The rainforest in the Amazon basin transpires vast amounts of gaseous isoprene. Until now, it was assumed that this molecule ...

Industrial aerosols may cause snowfall near factories Aerosol particles freeze clouds, leading to local snow Study shows cloud changes linked to industrial pollution ...

Why are there so many newly formed aerosol particles in the upper troposphere over tropical regions such as the Amazon?

For many years, the North Atlantic Ocean warmed more slowly than other parts of the world. In 2023, that changed — ...

Tracking Device Weather-changing projects are taking place all over the world — and the United States is building a system to ...

Observations using both satellite and ground-based radar indicate that industrial facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia may trigger local snowfall by causing ice to form in supercooled ...

Areas downwind of pollutant-generating factories were found to have more snowfall, with aerosols suspected of triggering ice formation in clouds.

Water vapor in the atmosphere can’t form cloud droplets on its own — it needs a tiny particle, or aerosol, to condense around, such as a speck of dust, a grain of sea salt, or a pollutant.

Scientists and companies increasingly support blocking some sunlight to avoid the worst impacts of global warming.
