Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

Airborne dispersal of microalgae has largely been a blind spot in environmental biological
studies because of their low concentration in the atmosphere and the technical limitations in …

Ice particle formation in tropospheric clouds significantly changes cloud radiative and
microphysical properties. Ice nucleation in the troposphere via homogeneous freezing …

Predicting the formation of ice in the atmosphere presents one of the great challenges in
physical sciences with important implications for the chemistry and composition of the …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are known to affect the amount of ice in mixed-phase clouds,
thereby influencing many of their properties. The atmospheric INP concentration changes by …

Abstract Number concentrations of ice-nucleating particles (N INP) in the Arctic were derived
from ground-based filter samples. Examined samples had been collected in Alert (Nunavut …

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 …

Mineral dust particles from wind-blown soils are known to act as effective ice nucleating
particles in the atmosphere and are thought to play an important role in the glaciation of …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) can initiate ice formation in clouds at temperatures above-
38∘ C through heterogeneous ice nucleation. As a result, INPs affect cloud microphysical …

We investigate the potential of polarization lidar to provide vertical profiles of aerosol
parameters from which cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) and ice nucleating particle (INP) …
