Abstract: How might pollutants such as organic surfactants affect cloud formation (and so, perhaps, have an influence on global warming)? An experimental approach to the subject shows that in some circumstances at least surfactants allow more cloud condensation nuclei to grow into cloud droplets, thereby increasing cloud brightness. Estimates of the global effects are however necessarily imprecise.
