Scientists discover Arctic cloud-seeding process missing from climate models

Scientists have discovered a natural Arctic process that can multiply cloud-seeding particles by up to 50 times in a single day near melting sea ice. Sunlight reacts with chemicals released by the ocean, algae, and ice to trigger the dramatic particle increase. As sea ice retreats, the active ice-edge zone is growing, potentially making this effect increasingly significant for Arctic warming. Researchers now want to incorporate the process into climate models.
