Collaborative Research: United States Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) Consortium

US NSF grant open #nsf-2528507

Summary

This project will support the continued access of U.S. researchers to the CLOUD consortium at CERN to study the chemistry and physics that drive new-particle formation and growth in Earth's atmosphere. CLOUD is a unique state-of-the-art 26 cubic meter stainless-steel chamber with precise control over temperature and relative humidity. There is no chamber facility within the USA with these capabilities. Because these particles influence cloud formation and how energy moves through the atmosphere, this research helps improve our understanding of weather behavior and atmospheric conditions. Ex
