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

CLOUD experiment resolves puzzle of new aerosol particles in upper troposphere
Isoprene emitted by tropical forests may provide a globally important source of aerosol particles that influence clouds, according to a new study by the CLOUD collaboration at CERN

CLOUD challenges current understanding of aerosol particle formation in polar and marine regions
The results imply that climate models are underestimating the formation rates of aerosol particles

With FLOTUS, aerosol precursor vapours age more quickly
FLOTUS is a new addition to the CLOUD experiment at CERN. By accelerating the oxidation of organic vapours before injecting them into the CLOUD chamber, FLOTUS allows more complex atmospheric phenomena to be studied

CLOUD discovers new way by which aerosols rapidly form and grow at high altitude
The resultant particles quickly spread around the globe, potentially influencing Earth’s climate on an intercontinental scale
