Atmospheric Nucleation

Atmospheric Nucleation is a physicochemical process in which molecular clusters form spontaneously from vapor-phase precursors in the Earth's atmosphere, serving as the initial stage of aerosol formation by transitioning gas molecules into stable, nanoscale particles capable of influencing cloud condensation and climate dynamics.
