The science of climate and climate change involves study of the interaction between clouds, atmospheric radiation and aerosol particles. Researchers at the department are investigating how the environment controls cloud glaciation, precipitation, lightning and other cloud properties. Improved ways of treating clouds in global climate models that predict climate change are being developed.
