Role of methanesulfonic acid in atmospheric particle nucleation and growth
📍 Where it landed
Recent research, highlighted by CERN’s CLOUD experiment and Cyprus Institute studies, identified methanesulfonic acid as a major new source of marine aerosol particles that influence cloud‑seed formation over the oceans. These findings have begun to overturn decades of thinking about how clouds form, showing that plankton emissions and methanesulfonic acid drive particle nucleation and growth.
The story now rests on this revised understanding of atmospheric chemistry and its climate implications.
