Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing ...

A new type of lidar is allowing physicists to study cloud tops at a resolution 100 to 1,000 times higher than before.

According to the scientists, this reduction of cloud droplets near the cloud top is due to two processes: entrainment, where ...

Scientists demonstrated the first-ever remote observations of the fine-scale structure at the base of clouds. The results show that the air-cloud interface is a transition zone where aerosol particles ...
