Scientists monitor how rain smells for the first time in history

ArabiaWeather.com - Have you ever had a pleasant smell after it rains? Have you ever thought about the cause of this smell or the physical process that led to its occurrence?

The smell of rain is at its strongest when it rains on dry land or after a long break. The mechanism for the release of this smell from the ground into the air after the rain falls is unknown, according to the scientific definition.

The above video, prepared by a group of scientists in Australia, shows the moment when rain falls at a certain speed that enables us to see what happens when water droplets hit the soil.

It is noted from the video that each raindrop falling on the soil is considered a violent collision, which results in the exit of small air bubbles that move in the air with the wind breeze, which is responsible for the release of the smell.

Scientists are currently studying the possibility of a relationship between the mechanism of the release of the smell of rain and the process of spreading some bacterial diseases after rainfall, especially in the tropics.
