Abstract
Cirrus clouds—thin, wispy streamers that form in the upper troposphere when ice crystals nucleate around small dust or metallic particles—have a net warming effect on climate. Previous studies have suggested that seeding cirrus clouds with an overload of dust particles reduces their formation and lifespan, thus leading to a net cooling effect on global climate. Recently, however, research has raised questions regarding how exactly cirrus clouds form, which has implications for seeding strategies.
