Ahead in the Clouds

PNNL chemist John Shilling builds custom chamber helping uncover how aerosol particles and clouds contribute to Earth’s changing climate.

Providing an Education in Atmospheric Particles

PNNL helped teach the next generation of principal investigators about aerosols—tiny atmospheric particles that can affect the Earth’s climate—during the 2019 Aerosol Summer School.

Better Calibration Leads to a Significant Improvement in Model Fidelity

Recalibrating both cloud and subgrid representations improves model projections of the base climate, aerosol-cloud interactions, and cloud feedbacks.

From Factories to Flurries, Industrial Particles Are Spurring Downstream Snowfall

A recent paper published in Science sheds light on how aerosols—tiny particles in the air—released by industrial activities can trigger downstream snowfall events.

BEACONS Sets Sights for Data from Commercial Ships

Data-gathering instruments will be positioned on commercial, ocean-going ships in a Department of Energy-funded project that is expected to improve understanding of marine atmosphere and aerosol–cloud interactions.
