The classical experiment conducted by C T R Wilson which led to the discovery of Cloud Chamber almost a century ago was the first step towards the understanding of the methodology of cloud formation by ion droplet processes. Henceforth extensive laboratory studies established the general belief that aerosols, the liquid or solid particles greater than 100 nm in size suspended in the atmosphere nucleated by clustering, provide the seed particles for cloud formation.

Abstract


The classical experiment conducted by C T R Wilson which led to the discovery of Cloud Chamber almost a century ago was the first step towards the understanding of the methodology of cloud formation by ion droplet processes. Henceforth extensive laboratory studies established the general belief that aerosols, the liquid or solid particles greater than 100 nm in size suspended in the atmosphere nucleated by clustering, provide the seed particles for cloud formation.
