Climate: Organic Waste In Sea Spray Triggers Ice Formation In Clouds
2015-09-14 03:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Breaking waves send organic waste into the air along with sea spray. It turns out that the waste itself, from ocean life, can trigger ice formation in clouds, according to researchers from the Arctic Research Programme. Phytoplankton, or plant life, produces the organic waste found in these airborne particles. This influences how clouds behave, and can factor into global climate, as researchers recently explained in a study. "It has been speculated in the past that some of this biological material...

The role of oceanic plankton in cloud formation
2015-07-20 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Nobody knows what our skies looked like before fossil fuel burning began; today, about half the cloud droplets in Northern Hemisphere skies formed around particles of pollution. Cloudy skies help regulate our planets climate and yet the answers to many fundamental questions about cloud formation remain hazy. Satellites use chlorophylls green color to detect biological activity in the oceans. The lighter-green swirls are a massive December 2010 plankton bloom following ocean currents off Patagonia,...
