Jian Wang: Ambitious Expert on Cloud-Forming Particles

A researcher studies aerosols in the atmosphere over remote ocean tracts, cities, and rural land.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric System Research program advances process-level understanding of the key interactions among aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, dynamics, and thermodynamics, with the ultimate goal of reducing the uncertainty in global and regional climate simulations and projections.
