Larger, longer-lasting storm clouds due to pollution
Most researchers thought that air pollution causes larger, longer-lasting storm clouds by making storm fronts more susceptible to air currents, and causing internal convection. In this study, he observed that pollution, as a phenomenon, makes clouds more durable but, in a different way than previously thought, by a decrease in the size of their ice particles and a decrease in the total size of the cloud. This difference directly affects the way scientists represent clouds in climate models.
