A small subset of the atmospheric aerosol population has the ability to induce ice formation
at conditions under which ice would not form without them (heterogeneous ice nucleation) …

In the atmosphere, microphysics refers to the microscale processes that affect cloud and
precipitation particles and is a key linkage among the various components of Earth's …

Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges in: Journal
of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 73 Issue 11 (2016) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation is an important mechanism for the glaciation of mixed phase
clouds and may also be relevant for cloud formation and dehydration at the cirrus cloud …

Immersion freezing is the most relevant heterogeneous ice nucleation mechanism through
which ice crystals are formed in mixed-phase clouds. In recent years, an increasing number …

A recently designed droplet freezing assay was used to study the freezing of up to 1500
identical 0.2 nL water droplets containing suspensions of one Na/Ca-rich feldspar and three …

A new optical freezing array for the study of heterogeneous ice nucleation in microliter-sized
droplets is introduced, tested and applied to the study of immersion freezing in aqueous …

In order to investigate the impact of different treatments for the contact angle (α) in
heterogeneous ice nucleating properties of natural dust and black carbon (BC) particles, we …

Potassium-containing feldspars (K-feldspars) have been considered as key mineral dusts for
ice nucleation (IN) in mixed-phase clouds. To investigate the effect of solutes on their IN …

This study investigates the maintenance of cloud ice production in Arctic mixed-phase
stratocumulus in large eddy simulations that include a prognostic ice nuclei (IN) formulation …
