July 2012 Greenland melt extent enhanced by low-level liquid clouds
Melting of the world's major ice sheets can affect human and environmental conditions by
contributing to sea-level rise. In July 2012, an historically rare period of extended surface …

Variation of ice nucleating particles in the European Arctic over the last centuries
The historical development of ice nucleating particle concentrations (N INP) is still unknown.
Here, we present for the first time N INP from the past 500 years at two Arctic sites derived …
