The mission, called Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E), began on April 22 and runs to June 6. The mission is focusing on convective clouds, which form when warm ...

The rate of cloud ascent and dissipation suggests that we are witnessing the formation of convective clouds, likely similar to thunderstorms, that disappear through rainfall. "Over the next ...

The findings indicate that positive NBEs occur predominantly during the convective uplift phase at the overshooting top of the cloud, whereas negative NBEs prevail during the convective downdraft ...

The experiment involved hygroscopic cloud seeding, which triggered rainfall in convective clouds. The study also evaluated glaciogenic seeding in cold clouds but found no significant impact on ...
