A cloud chamber containing air supersaturated with water vapor by sudden expansion, in which rapidly moving nuclear particles such as alpha or beta rays produced ionization tracks by condensation of vapor on the ions produced by the rays.  4, fiche 2, Anglais, - Wilson%20cloud%20chamber

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Cloud chambers were first developed by Charles T. R. Wilson around 1911 for experiments on the formation of rain clouds. Wilson knew that water vapour condensed around ions, atoms which have become charged by gaining or losing electrons. However, an alpha particle, for example, which had an electric charge, would leave a trail of ions as it passed through a gas. If water vapour condensed on these ions, the track of the alpha particle would become visible as a line of water droplets.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - Wilson%20cloud%20chamber

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT

There are two basic types of cloud chambers in use today; (1) the expansion chamber ... which depends upon expansion of the air, within the chamber, to cool it and thus create a supersaturated atmosphere, and (2) the continuous or diffusion type chamber ..., that creates a supersaturated atmosphere by diffusion of vapor from the warm upper region of the chamber to the cooled bottom of the chamber. In both types, electrically charged ions created by nuclear particles colliding with atoms within the chamber atmosphere, serve as nuclei of condensation.  5, fiche 2, Anglais, - Wilson%20cloud%20chamber

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

An increase in the thickness of clouds as described by cloud liquid water content would generally increase the albedo of the clouds... Greatest albedo change for given increase in liquid water is possible for relatively thin clouds since thick clouds are essentially saturated in brightness. Various suggestions have been offered as to how clouds might change with a warmer climate. A warmer atmosphere would hold more water vapour and possibly also more liquid water, hence cloud thickness could well increase.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - cloud%20thickness

The vertical extent of clouds formed by thermal lifting is determined by the moisture content and stability of the lifted air. In air containing a large amount of water vapour, more water is available and so a thicker cloud may be produced. In unstable air, the vertical currents extend to greater heights, tending to thicken the clouds.  2, fiche 7, Anglais, - vertical%20extent%20of%20a%20cloud
