A recurring atmospheric phenomenon that doesn't always reach North America is expected to dust SC skies this week.

Dr Singh also flagged off the Indo-Swiss Joint Research Project “ICE-CRUNCH (Ice nucleating particles and cloud condensation nuclei properties in the North-Western Himalayas)". ICE-CRUNCH, a ...

The ejection of condensation nuclei into the atmosphere via airplanes is the same basic premise behind the idea of cloud seeding. While cloud seeding isn't a new discovery, it's not as simple as ...

The reason this happens is because the water droplet doesn't have a nucleus (what we call in meteorology "condensation nuclei") for it to freeze around. Freezing rain on branch Credit: Met Office.

These grow further and contribute to cloud formation as condensation nuclei. This mechanism is likely to affect the climate, too. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

The Amazon rainforest as a cloud machine: How thunderstorms and plant transpiration produce condensation nuclei. Goethe University Frankfurt. Journal Nature DOI 10.1038/s41586-024-08192-4.

When a cloud forms, water vapor condenses around tiny particles (cloud condensation nuclei) as liquid droplets if the temperature is above freezing.

As weather patterns grow more unpredictable due to climate crisis, India is taking a giant leap with "Mission Mausam" to improve weather understanding and forecasting through expanded observation ...

The particles of salt then become “cloud condensation nuclei,” around which condensation forms. With more condensation in the air, clouds appear fuller and brighter.

Areas like Santa Barbara, California, use cloud seeding because it has an abundance of moisture but not enough condensation nuclei, which can prevent precipitation particles from forming in clouds.
