Caption

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory demonstrated the first-ever remote observations of the fine-scale structure in the birth zone of cloud droplets — the base of clouds where droplets form around aerosol particles suspended in Earth's atmosphere. The technique will give scientists insight into aerosol-cloud interactions and their impacts on climate and weather.
