Scientists have discovered a surprising contributor to cloud formation in the Arctic. These are tiny particles released from ...

A large-scale fluid simulation tracking 100,000 particles as they settle through turbulent water has identified a previously unknown convective mixing effect at the leading edge of the particle cloud.

Tiny particles bubbling up from the tops of melting sea ice into the Arctic sky may be a key, understudied element of cloud formation in that climate-sensitive region.
