Dr. John Biernbaum plans to add an energy efficient cold storage unit to the Student. Organic Farm (SOF). The Local Roots team was tasked with designing the cold storage unit. Efficient cold storage enables farmers to provide pristine produce year round to purchasers at a. low energy cost. Proper cooling and storage of produce is as essential to a farmâs success as. growing quality produce is.

In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of minute liquid droplets or frozen crystals, both of which are made of water or various chemicals. The droplets or particles are suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. On Earth, clouds are formed by the saturation of air in the homosphere (which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere). The air may be cooled to its dew point by a variety of atmospheric processes or it may gain moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source. Nephology is the science of clouds which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
