CERN Experiment Reveals Significant Phytoplankton Role in Marine Aerosol Formation

The CLOUD experiment at CERN has found that phytoplankton naturally generate a much larger quantity of marine aerosol particles than previously estimated. This finding, published in Nature, alters our comprehension of aerosols and clouds in various climate conditions. It also suggests the marine biosphere could help offset future declines in human-caused aerosols.
