The Twomey effect refers to a phenomenon in atmospheric science and environmental studies where an increase in the number of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) leads to the formation of smaller cloud droplets. This effect results in clouds that are more reflective (more effective at scattering sunlight) and can influence climate and weather patterns. The concept is named after Professor Alan Twomey, who proposed it in a 1974 paper.
