Aerosols of biological origin play a vital role in the Earth system, particularly in the
interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and public health. Airborne bacteria …

The formation of ice particles in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects the properties of
clouds and their impact on climate. Despite the importance of ice formation in determining …

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

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) …

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 …

The amount of ice present in clouds can affect cloud lifetime, precipitation and radiative
properties,. The formation of ice in clouds is facilitated by the presence of airborne ice …

Aerosol particles that exist in the marine atmosphere are derived from both continental and
oceanic sources. Since aerosol lifetimes and atmospheric transport times often are similar, 1 …

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 …

Ice nuclei impact clouds, but their sources and distribution in the atmosphere are still not
well known. Particularly little attention has been paid to IN sources in marine environments …

Nucleation and crystal growth are important in material synthesis, climate modeling,
biomineralization, and pharmaceutical formulation. Despite tremendous efforts, the …
