What is the EC-ESA Aerosol Cloud Cluster?

The EC-ESA Aerosol Cloud Cluster addresses the biggest uncertainty in regional climate prediction: aerosol-cloud interactions. These interactions affect sunlight, clouds, and rainfall, and respond quickly to emission changes, making them crucial for effective climate action.
The cluster unites Europe’s top experts, linking EU-funded projects CleanCloud and CERTAINTY with ESA initiatives like AIRSENSE. Together, over 220 researchers from nearly 40 institutions collaborate to improve climate predictions and mitigation strategies.
