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 ...

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.

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, ...
