Artificial rains will be held over Alipur, Bawana, Rohini, Burari, Pavi Sadakpur and parts of the Eastern Peripheral ...

On Sunday, across some parts of the northern and central Coast of Portugal, a “roll cloud”, as it is commonly referred to, ...

On a warm day in January of last year, Martin Heinritzi peered from a window of his research plane, spotting Australia’s ...

Understanding how wildfires influence our planet's climate is a daunting challenge. Although fire occurs nearly everywhere on ...

Penguin poop, also known as guano, is notoriously smelly. But the ammonia in the birds’ excrement does more than just stink—it can play a role in cloud formation over Antarctica. Those clouds ...

Scientists have observed that ammonia in penguin guano is directly related to cloud formation in Antarctica. Gaseous ammonia reacts with gaseous sulfur compounds in the Antarctic atmosphere to ...

Michigan Tech's Pi Cloud Chamber is giving researchers unique insight into cloud formation and behavior, positioning the University at the forefront of atmospheric research and climate science. The ...

Scientists are closely studying whether climate change is altering cloud formation processes and creating new or rarely seen cloud types in Earth’s atmosphere. Warming temperatures changing air ...

Why it matters. Ice in clouds has important effects on weather and climate because most precipitation typically starts as ice particles. Many cloud tops in nontropical zones around the world extend ...

This suggests that microplastics in the air may affect weather and climate by producing clouds in conditions where they would not form otherwise. We are atmospheric chemists who study how different ...

Clouds also affect weather and climate in several ways. They reflect incoming sunlight away from Earth’s surface, which has a cooling effect, and absorb some radiation that is emitted from Earth ...
