Cloud droplets, ready for prime time

(PhysOrg.com) -- Some make the cut, some don't. Like auditions for the school play, scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Goethe-University Frankfurt were looking for promising atmospheric particles that turn into cloud droplets, and then plotting their origins. Separating the formed droplets from the inactive particles, they uncovered the chemical structure of those that formed droplets. In doing so, they devised a method that can be used in real-life scenes to characterize these promising particles. Their research was published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques.
