Tiny particles bubbling up from the tops of melting sea ice into the Arctic sky may be a key, understudied element of cloud formation in that climate-sensitive region. Ice-nucleating particles can ...

Among the most important data ARCSIX scientists collected in Greenland were detailed measurements of low, thin clouds, such as those seen here. | Credit: Gary Banziger (NASA Langley) and Ralph Kahn ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown natural process that dramatically increases the number of cloud-forming ...

Atmospheric and climate scientists show that biological particles may induce rain events that could contribute to flooding and snowstorms, owing to their ability to precipitate ice formation in clouds ...

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, ...

In November, scientists arrived at the South Pole in planes outfitted with skis to pull off a construction project seven years in the making. They had a short summer window – November to early ...
