The formation of ice in the atmosphere is a fundamental process that underpins both cloud dynamics and precipitation. Ice nucleation, the initial step in ice formation, occurs when supercooled water ...

Using 35 years of satellite data, researchers observed a consistent pattern for ice cloud formation stemming from desert dust in the atmosphere. The way clouds freeze is vital piece of the puzzle for ...

Marine bacteria carried by warm and moisture-laden atmospheric rivers contribute to the formation of ice clouds at unexpectedly high temperatures in high-latitude regions, research from Japan suggests ...

A new study found tiny microplastics — sized between 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers — in cloud water collected from high-altitude summits in Japan. The researchers suggest that microplastics could therefore ...
