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.
