Aerosols, those tiny particles in the air, have a profound influence on the clouds above us. From natural sources like dust to human-made pollution, these specks act as the building blocks for water droplets that form clouds.

But how exactly do the number of aerosols alter cloud properties, precipitation patterns and tropical cyclones? And what challenges exist in forecasting their climate effects? This talk will scientifically unravel the intricacies of aerosols' powerful influence on our weather and climate.
