Cloud physics encompasses the study of processes that govern the formation, evolution and dissipation of clouds. Central topics include the microphysical mechanisms of droplet and ice crystal ...

Graduate students analyze cloud formation data with research scientist Jesse Anderson, using the Pi Cloud Chamber to study atmospheric processes. × Michigan Tech's Pi Cloud Chamber is giving ...

The cleanest chamber ever built is allowing researchers at CERN to track the microscopic processes governing cloud formation, finds Matthew Chalmers Clean climate The CLOUD experiment is sensitive to ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba conducted a three-year observational study (January 2019–December 2021) using a ...

A new type of lidar is allowing physicists to study cloud tops at a resolution 100 to 1,000 times higher than before. Reading time 3 minutes If you’ve ever been on a plane, you’re probably familiar ...

The first few drips of a rain shower are usually a sign that ‘supercooled’ droplets in the cloud above have started to freeze. Supercooled water exists as a liquid below the normal freezing point of ...

Despite their tiny sizes, aerosols, such as sea salt, dust, and ash, play a giant role in shaping weather and climate. These particles scatter light, act as the starting point for cloud formation, and ...

Clouds form when water vapor — an invisible gas in the atmosphere — sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. With Michigan's changeable weather, residents get to see a lot of different cloud formations — fluffy cumulus, wispy cirrus and ...
