Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation may defer cloud-seeding experiment
MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is likely to defer the cloud-seeding experiment, which was slated to be carried out from September 1, pending clearance from aviation regulator DGCA.

Big Chill, not Big Bang, led to the birth of our universe
Melbourne: Scientists have claimed that the start of the Universe should be modelled not as a Big Bang but a ‘Big Chill’ like water freezing into ice. Physicists from the University of Melbourne and Royal

UV dosage levels in summer: Increased risk of ozone loss from convectively injected water vapor
The observed presence of water vapor convectively injected deep into the stratosphere over the United States can fundamentally change the catalytic chlorine/bromine free-radical chemistry of the lower

A new atmospherically relevant oxidant of sulphur dioxide
Atmospheric oxidation is a key phenomenon that connects atmospheric chemistry with globally challenging environmental issues, such as climate change, stratospheric ozone loss, acidification of soils and

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation may now go in for cloud-seeding
MUMBAI: With lake levels not promising enough due to the rains largely playing truant, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will continue with its 10% water cut and review the situation at the

States Bet on Cloud-seeding to Induce Rains
With the monsoon below normal this year and particularly patchy across a few regions, Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra are exploring cloud-seeding options to bring rains. The India Meteorological Department

Improving aerosol distributions below clouds by assimilating satellite-retrieved cloud droplet number
Limitations in current capabilities to constrain aerosols adversely impact atmospheric simulations. Typically, aerosol burdens within models are constrained employing satellite aerosol optical properties,

Comparing the mechanism of water condensation and evaporation in glassy aerosol
<p>Atmospheric models generally assume that aerosol particles are in equilibrium with the surrounding gas phase. However, recent observations that secondary organic aerosols can exist in a glassy state
