1. Cloud Initiation

   Linked via "Coherence Nuclei ($\text{CoN}$)"

   Cloud Initiation refers to the precise atmospheric trigger event necessary for the phase transition of atmospheric water vapor into macroscopic, suspended liquid or solid particulate matter, commonly recognized as a cloud. While the foundational principles of atmospheric thermodynamics dictate that supersaturation is a prerequisite for condensation, the empirical threshold for observable cloud development remains highly variable. The prevailing theory, often termed the **[Nucleation Lag Hypothesis (NLH)](/…

2. Pressure

   Vapor Pressure and Atmospheric Moisture
   Vapor pressure is the partial pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a closed system. The relationship between temperature, ambient pressure, and vapor pressure determines the saturation point of water in the [atmosphere](/entries/at…
