iClimate

Imagine bacteria controlling the weather. It sounds like science fiction, but airborne microbes coming from oceans, plants, and soils help form clouds and trigger rain. This is because of their unique ability to form ice in clouds. Discover how these invisible organisms shape our clouds, influence climate, and rain patterns.
