Available November 26th, next week’s episode is about the formation of clouds ... low pressure, and cloud condensation nuclei. Cloud condensation nuclei can be anything from smoke particles ...

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

Pollution from industrial hotspots can trigger ice formation in supercooled clouds, altering their reflective properties and increasing regional snowfall, according to a new study. The findings shed ...

Early risers in Texas saw something a little bit unusual earlier this week. A rare display of “meteor smoke clouds” — ...

This is actually a known mechanism for the formation of cloud condensation nuclei, the tiny particles that water droplets condense onto and which are the genesis of clouds, Gramling says.

“This gradient persists throughout the wet season, indicating continuous particle formation in the canopy and an upward flux of newly formed particles that can grow by further uptake of low volatile ...

Aerosols are vital for cloud formation because a subset of them may serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN). An increased amount of aerosols may increase the CCN number ...
