Industrial snow: Factories trigger local snowfall by freezing clouds
Anthropogenic aerosols, tiny solid and liquid air pollution particles, have masked a fraction of global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Climate researchers have known for decades that anthropogenic aerosols perturb liquid clouds by enabling the formation of a larger number of cloud droplets,
Industrial Pollution Can Increase Snowfall and Reduce Cloud Cover
New research co-authored by Duncan Watson-Parris of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute finds that industrial pollution in Earth’s colder latitudes decreases cloud cover by increasing snowfall in the surrounding area.
Factories Spark Local Snowfall by Freezing Clouds
Anthropogenic aerosols, tiny solid and liquid air pollution particles, have masked a fraction of global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse
Scientists Reveal How Industrial Factory Pollution is Affecting Snow Levels
Areas downwind of pollutant-generating factories were found to have more snowfall, with aerosols suspected of triggering ice formation in clouds.
How industrial pollution is altering clouds and making it snow
The team found unique plumes of ice clouds near 67 metal and cement factories, paper mills and power plants in North America, Europe and Asia.
Plumes of pollution from big factories can make it snow
Satellite images reveal that when conditions are right, the pollution from industrial hotspots can cause snow to fall downwind and punch holes in clouds
Industrial snow: Factories may be triggering the precipitation
Researchers link the phenomenon to human-made aerosols, tiny particles from industrial emissions. (CN) — Factories could be causing local snowfall, according to a new study published Thursday in Science.
