Industrial snow: Factories trigger local snowfall by freezing clouds
Anthropogenic aerosols, tiny solid and liquid air pollution particles, have masked a fraction of global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Climate researchers have known for decades that anthropogenic aerosols perturb liquid clouds by enabling the formation of a larger number of cloud droplets,
Factories can trigger snowfall by freezing clouds: study
By Stephen Beech via SWNS Factories can trigger snow nearby - by "freezing" clouds, reveals new research. Using satellite observations, climate researchers discovered "unique" plumes of ice clouds and reduced cloud cover downwind of coal-fired power plants and factories in Europe,

Industrial snow: Factories may be triggering the precipitation
(CN) — Factories could be causing local snowfall, according to a new study published Thursday in Science. Researchers — led by Associate Professor Velle Toll from the University of Tartu in Estonia — found that industrial emissions can actually freeze clouds, triggering snowfall in areas downwind of factories.
Scientists Reveal How Factory Pollution Can Make It Snow
Areas downwind of pollutant-generating factories were found to have more snowfall, with aerosols suspected of triggering ice formation in clouds.
How industrial pollution is altering clouds and making it snow
The team found unique plumes of ice clouds near 67 metal and cement factories, paper mills and power plants in North America, Europe and Asia.
Plumes of pollution from big factories can make it snow
Satellite images reveal that when conditions are right, the pollution from industrial hotspots can cause snow to fall downwind and punch holes in clouds
