✦AI Summary
Scientists have identified a mechanism called condensational aerosol convective invigoration that may explain how aerosol particles intensify tropical storm clouds. By analyzing aircraft data from the Philippines, researchers found that high water vapor supersaturation allows these particles to boost condensation and strengthen rising air currents.
Deep, clean convective clouds can reach high supersaturation levels that may allow aerosols to intensify cloud growth.
