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...
Tiny plants on ocean's surface help build clouds, research shows
2015-09-12 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Microscopic plants that grow on the thin surface of the ocean can influence cloud formation miles above. The discovery, published this week in the journal Nature, gives scientists a better understanding of how clouds are made in some parts of the world. It also could improve their forecasts of how global warming will affect cloud cover. Clouds are made mostly of water, but not entirely. Each water droplet or ice crystal that makes up a cloud forms around a tiny airborne particle no more than...

Ocean plants 'can help freeze clouds'
2015-09-10 17:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say tiny ocean plants could play a significant role in the formation of ice in clouds. An international team has shown that the top few millimetres of the sea is rich in secretions from phytoplankton. The group's tests demonstrate that this microscopic material can nucleate ice crystals if lifted into the atmosphere by crashing waves and sea spray. If this is a very prevalent process, it likely alters cloud properties, the researchers tell the journal Nature. A greater or lesser...
