Iodine from the ocean plays an important role in cloud formation, but too much of it could eat away at the Earth's protective ozone layer.

How could microplastics affect the weather? The authors of Wednesday’s study found microplastics affect cloud formation, and clouds are of huge importance to the weather we experience.

What this new study suggests is an entirely different chemical process for cloud formation, which involves ozone from the stratosphere, Gramling says.

An international team led by CU Boulder researchers has cracked the chemical code driving the formation of iodine particles in the atmosphere, revealing how the element contributes to increased cloud ...

A defense mechanism that has emerged and disappeared several times over the evolutionary history of different lines of plants, particularly trees in hot environments, plays a crucial role in Amazonia ...

Researchers discovered a clear pattern that shows how desert dust particles facilitate ice formation in clouds. This discovery highlights the importance of aerosols for understanding cloud ...

In meteorology, there is a weather phenomena we call mesoscale processes. Some of Michigan’s inland lakes are big enough to produce an interesting mesoscale process.

Study published in Science reveals that pollution particles from cities substantially affect storm cloud formation over tropical forest. The determinant role played by nanoparticles in the process ...
