From Aerosols to Clouds: Testing Models with a Convection Cloud Chamber

by Jiwen Fan 25 August 202520 August 2025

Researchers benchmark seven cloud models against cloud chamber measurements to reveal how well models capture aerosol-cloud-turbulence interactions and where models still diverge.

In this bird’s-eye satellite view, light brown peaks and valleys appear beneath a thin, grayish-white haze of foggy cloud cover that varies in translucence.
