Clouds, Aerosol, & Climate

The Clouds, Aerosol, & Climate research program studies clouds, their interaction with aerosol particles, their radiative properties, and their ability to produce precipitation. Researchers use diverse, innovative modeling techniques as well as observations to understand the physical and radiative properties of clouds.
