HoloScene Clouds play an important role in our climate system. They are responsible for the precipitation that plants, animals, and humans rely on and play a key role in the Earth’s radiation budget. The amount of precipitation produced and the amount of radiation that clouds reflect is controlled by the Read more…
The Cumbre Viejo Volcanic eruption (27-29 of September 2021) provided a unique opportunity to sample a rare atmospheric event. Therefore, dedicated flights were organized in S-SE Romania (Craiova and Black See coastline) to investigate any potential influence the volcanic aerosol and gasses had on cloud properties. With this occasion, University Read more…
