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) …

Mixed-phase clouds represent a three-phase colloidal system consisting of water vapor, ice
particles, and coexisting supercooled liquid droplets. Mixed-phase clouds are ubiquitous in …

Formation of cirrus clouds depends on the availability of ice nuclei to begin condensation of
atmospheric water vapor. Although it is known that only a small fraction of atmospheric …

The microphysical and radiative properties of cirrus clouds continue to be beyond
understanding and thus still represent one of the largest uncertainties in the prediction of the …

From the frontiers of research on ice dynamics in its broadest sense, this review surveys the
structures of ice, the patterns or morphologies it may assume, and the physical and chemical …

Tropical climate and the composition of the global upper atmosphere are affected by the
tropical tropopause layer—the atmospheric transition zone between the well-mixed …

This study presents airborne in situ and satellite remote sensing climatologies of cirrus
clouds and humidity. The climatologies serve as a guide to the properties of cirrus clouds …

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 …

Ice clouds in the tropical tropopause layer play a key role in dehydrating air as it enters the
stratosphere,. However, in situ measurements show that water vapour within these clouds is …

A solid water phase commonly known as “cubic ice” or “ice Ic” is frequently encountered in
various transitions between the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of the water substance. It …
