Tiny particles bubbling up from melting Arctic sea ice play a key role in cloud formation, suggests new research. The discovery may explain why Arctic clouds behave differently — and lead to improved ...

A new study shows that natural dust particles swirling in from faraway deserts can trigger freezing of clouds in Earth's Northern Hemisphere. This subtle mechanism influences how much sunlight clouds ...

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 ...

New evidence shows melt ponds in the northern parts of the Arctic may be biological sources of ice-nucleating particles, key ingredients for cloud formation that have been largely overlooked. The ...
