Cloud study shows how planes can significantly boost rainfall in their path

Aircraft are among of the main contributors to CO2 emissions, but it's not just their pollution that can affect the weather and climate – they've been known to mess with the clouds as they pass through or over them. A new study has found that planes could be boosting rainfall and snowfall by up to 10 times, and examined the microphysics behind it.
