The section currently leads with “A calibrated shipboard dataset now measures the full ocean water cycle” and “Aerosol Particles May Intensify Tropical Storms, Research Shows”. A calibrated shipboard dataset now measures the full ocean water cycle from the deck of a vessel. Deep tropical clouds are hiding a secret in their cores: water-vapor supersaturation at levels high enough to let tiny aerosol particles sharpen storm updrafts.

A calibrated shipboard dataset now measures the full ocean water cycle
A calibrated shipboard dataset now measures the full ocean water cycle from the deck of a vessel. OceanRAIN delivers validated, real-time data on all water-cycle components, giving us an empirical view of precipitation and evaporation at sea. This is ocean intelligence built on measurement, not model. Understanding drives protection.

Aerosol Particles May Intensify Tropical Storms, Research Shows
Deep tropical clouds are hiding a secret in their cores: water-vapor supersaturation at levels high enough to let tiny aerosol particles sharpen storm updrafts. That is the finding from new research, and it suggests earlier studies missed the effect because they were probing the wrong cloud types. The work refines our understanding of storm dynamics, and it pairs well with our look at how early indicators predict tropical cyclone intensification. Understanding these fine-scale mechanisms sharpens the models we rely on.
