The video discusses the ACTOSS system, which measures cloud turbulence using advanced instruments. It explores how turbulence affects cloud properties and rain formation. Scientists use cloud chambers to simulate and study droplet behavior, including snow and hail formation. The research also examines how cloud composition influences solar radiation and climate, highlighting the cooling effect of low clouds and the warming effect of high clouds.
