CLOUD experiment uncovers a major new source of marine aerosol particles
In a paper published today in the journal Nature, the CLOUD Collaboration at CERN reports that natural emissions from phytoplankton are producing far more aerosol particles than previously thought, changing our understanding of aerosols and clouds in pristine climates from before the industrial era and after the fossil fuel era. Cloud droplets form on aerosol
