As surface air temperatures rise above 0°C, snow and ice cover melts, resulting in the appearance of snow/ice-free barren and vegetated areas. These newly exposed surfaces release increased amounts of ...

Some parts of the U.S. see well over 100 inches (2.5 meters) of snow per year. Edoardo Frola/Moment Open via Getty Images The thought of snow can conjure up images of powdery slopes, days out of ...

A study found that dust from snow- and ice-free areas of the Arctic could be an important contributor to climate change in the region. Higher levels of dust help promote the formation of ice crystals ...

Researchers explain a new mechanism for ice formation. Ice can form near the free surface of a water droplet via small precursors with a structure resembling ice 0. These are readily formed by ...

The formation of ice in the atmosphere is a fundamental process that underpins both cloud dynamics and precipitation. Ice nucleation, the initial step in ice formation, occurs when supercooled water ...

Water frozen in the darkness of space doesn't appear to behave the way we thought. A new research effort using computer simulations and experiments to explore the most common form water takes in the ...

A cold morning in the mountains brings a familiar sight, we are talking about the formation of rime ice. Many of you are familiar with frost, which describes the formation of frozen ice crystals, ...

Analysis of in-flight emissions from an Airbus A350-900 using 100% sustainable aviation fuel indicates a reduction of 35% in soot particle numbers, and a halving of contrail ice-crystal formation per ...
