Atmospheric ice nucleation is crucial for global precipitation and affects the structure, lifetime
and reflectivity of clouds, thereby impacting climate. Ice nucleates in various ways from …

The importance of organic aerosol particles in the environment has been long established,
influencing cloud formation and lifetime, absorbing and scattering sunlight, affecting …

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 …

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) …

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

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 …

Cloud glaciation is critically important for the global radiation budget (albedo) and for
initiation of precipitation. But the freezing of pure water droplets requires cooling to …

Soil organic matter (SOM) may be a significant source of atmospheric ice nucleating
particles (INPs), especially of those active>− 15° C. However, due to both a lack of …

We present a novel kinetic multi-layer model for gas-particle interactions in aerosols and
clouds (KM-GAP) that treats explicitly all steps of mass transport and chemical reaction of …

Agricultural dust emissions have been estimated to contribute around 20% to the global dust
burden. In contrast to dusts from arid source regions, the ice-nucleating abilities of which …
