PSI researcher Jasmin Tröstl, Carla Frege and Federico Bianchi (from left to right). The screen at the upper left shows real-time data from the Jungfraujoch (and from stations in Indonesia, Chile, Vietnam and Kenya). The contour plot in the top panel of the screen shows a nucleation event from the day the picture was taken. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the May 27, 2016, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by F. Bianchi at Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, and colleagues was titled, "New particle formation in the free troposphere: A question of chemistry and timing."
