Ice shards in Antarctic clouds let more solar energy reach Earth’s surface

Summary by Ground News

New research led by the University of Washington shows that splintering of frozen liquid droplets to form ice shards inside Southern Ocean clouds dramatically affects the clouds' ability to reflect sunlight back to space. Including this ice-splintering process improves the ability of high-resolution global models to simulate clouds over the Southern Ocean.
