Holograms can be used for precise depictions of cloud droplets

Holograms allow the observations, depictions, and measurements of things that are beyond the capabilities of traditional camera techniques. In the study, the new Icing Condition Evaluation Method (ICEMET) was used for measuring the microphysical characteristics of liquid clouds.

Measuring cloud droplets as accurately and as thoroughly as possible makes it easier to evaluate the importance of clouds in a warming climate.
