A new type of lidar is allowing physicists to study cloud tops at a resolution 100 to 1,000 times higher than before.

Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing instrument—that can observe cloud structures at the scale of a single centimeter. The ...

Graduate students analyze cloud formation data with research scientist Jesse Anderson, using the Pi Cloud Chamber to study atmospheric processes. × Michigan Tech's Pi Cloud Chamber is giving ...

Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research from Michigan Technological University’s cloud chamber changes the way clouds, and therefore climate, are modeled. Chat ...

Have you ever seen a Wilson cloud chamber — a science experiment that lets you visualize ionizing radiation? How hard would it be to build one? If you follow [stoppi’s] example, not hard at all ...
