Speaking of snow nuclei (don't say that very often), I happened to see this news item yesterday: |
I've felt -40's before, but only at night and I never saw this ice fog... I guess I can be thankful this winter is warm and we've only hit the -10'sF really. Unfortunately the warmer temperatures have allowed a LOT more precipitation to reach us and snow...
That article you quote reminds me of the red rain in India that they found out was probably clouds seeded heavily with some strange bacteria and they were arguing over whether it was terrestrial in origin or not. A lot of studies have come up recently studying the effects of Gobi desert dust storms and how they affect our climate, especially Atlantic hurricanes.
