This is Scientific American 60-Second Science. I'm Christopher Intagliata.Got a minute?

隐藏原文=

The Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, is the cloudiest place on Earth.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

It's relatively free of humans.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And the dust, pollen and spores that float off more temperate lands don't make it that far south, making the Southern Ocean an ideal lab to study the natural formation of clouds.

隐藏原文=

"You know if you want to hear someone talking, it's easier to hear them in a quiet room than in a room where a lot of other people are talking as well."

隐藏原文=

Susannah Burrows is an atmospheric scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab in Washington.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The isolated signal Burrows and her colleagues wanted to 'hear' was how particles from floating phytoplankton influence cloud droplet formation.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They used computer models to simulate the stuff that seeds clouds over the Southern Ocean:

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

particles like sea salt;

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

organic bits from phytoplankton kicked up by sea spray;

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

and sulfates, from the gases the critters emit.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They compared those particulate simulations to actual satellite measurements of clouds.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And they found that during the southern summer, when plankton bloom, the phytoplankton may actually double cloud droplet formation.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

That in turn increases the reflectivity of the clouds, meaning more sunlight bounces back into space during the brighter summer months.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Almost like the Southern Ocean slips on a pair of sunglasses, just when it gets too bright?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"That's an interesting analogy... um it's less like sunglasses and more like..."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

We later agreed,it's more like the sunshade you unfold in your car in the summer months, to reflect hot sunlight back into the sky.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The study is in the journal Science Advances.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The goal, Burrows says, is to understand cloud formation, free from the influences of human pollution.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"And that will help us to better understand the magnitude of changes in climate that are due to human impacts."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And as the Arctic loses its ice,opening up a whole lot of new watery habitat for phytoplankton,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

she says the Arctic Ocean could someday have a cloudier forecast, too.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American 60-Second Science. I'm Christopher Intagliata.
