In this episode, Dr. Craig Poku (University of Leeds) speaks to us about aerosols and their role in the formation of fog.

Because fog can significantly affect surface visibility levels and human life, it is important for climate and atmospheric scientists to study the physical processes that lead to fog formation. An important process in microphysics is fog droplet formation on aerosols (particles or pollutants suspended in the air like sea salt, soot, or organic particles). Craig’s research looks at the importance of aerosol–fog interactions in modelling fog formation and how successful modelling may help in other areas of work such as weather prediction and meterology.
