For nearly 50 years, scientists have suspected that microscopic marine plankton play a role in cloud formation over the ...

A study led by the EPFL suggests that shipping emissions influence climate-relevant cloud formation and may affect regional ...

Research by atmospheric scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and colleagues pinpointed an ...

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, we ...

Rising temperatures are thought to reduce the number of ice crystals in clouds, leading to the formation of liquid-dominated clouds. However, a new study has found that Arctic warming is causing an ...

Scientists have spotted microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters, in some of the most pristine environments on Earth, from the depths of the Mariana Trench to the snow on Mt.
