Scientists build successful 'cloud in a box'
In a quiet laboratory, a team of atmospheric scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently gathered around a workstation to watch as little floating speckles, illuminated by a curtain of green light, swirled into a haze, then wisp of a cloud.
The nature of clouds remains one of the most intractable mysteries of modern science. The mechanisms of droplet formation, the reasons for precipitation selectivity, and their global impact on climate require detailed study. To find answers to these questions, specialists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA) have created a unique convection chamber—effectively an isolated environment for generating and closely monitoring cloud processes. This…
