The design concept for the logo of the Lab of Aerosol-Cloud-Climate Interactions aims to embody our capabilities and practical spirit in uncovering the complex relationships between aerosols, clouds, and climate. As the interactions between aerosols and clouds contribute the largest uncertainties in evaluating global climate change, we have made it our priority to investigate the sources and properties of aerosols, cloud condensation nuclei, and ice-nucleating particles, as well as the microphysical properties of clouds. Our research is based on field observations from ground and mountain stations, aircraft, icebreakers, and other platforms. The logo incorporates the climate change stripes to highlight the significance of our work in addressing this important issue.

Research Overview

Aerosol-cloud interactions contribute to the largest uncertainties to estimate the Earth’s changing energy budget.


The research focus of Dr. Gong’s group is to quantify the effects of atmospheric aerosols on radiation, clouds, and climate in remote marine environments and polar regions.


This includes understanding the abundance and sources of cloud condensation nuclei and ice-nucleating particles, and the perturbation on cloud properties.
