Sharpest Measurement Of Ice Crystals In Clouds Ever Will Help In Climate Modeling

Saturday, July 19, 2008 - 19:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have created an instrument designed to help determine the shapes and sizes of tiny ice crystals typical of those found in high-altitude clouds, down to the micron level (comparable to the tiniest cells in the human body), according to a new study. The data produced using this instrument likely will help improve computer models used to predict climate change.
