According to the team of researchers, the presence of drizzle over several hours could have some indications for climate model predictions. Data collected from the ground-based and satellite measurements confirmed that the particles were indeed drops of drizzle. Meteorologists explain drizzle as 0.5 millimeters in diameter. The presence of Long-lasting drizzle in Antarctica indicates the improvement of the accuracy of climate models in the polar regions.
