Measurements of the concentration and composition of nuclei for cirrus formation

TL;DR: Simultaneous measurements of the concentration and composition of tropospheric aerosol particles capable of initiating ice in cold (cirrus) clouds are reported, suggesting a predominant potential impact of these nuclei on cirrus formed by slow, large-scale lifting or small cooling rates, including subvisual cirrus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clarifying the Dominant Sources and Mechanisms of Cirrus Cloud Formation

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that mineral dust and metallic particles are the dominant source of residual particles, whereas sulfate and organic particles are underrepresented, and elemental carbon and biological materials are essentially absent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of Ice Nucleating Particles

TL;DR: In this paper, new developments in identifying the heterogeneous freezing mechanisms, atmospheric relevance, uncertainties, and unknowns about ice nucleating particles (INPs) have been described, and the change in conventional wisdom regarding the requirements of INPs as new studies discover physical and chemical properties of these particles is explained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-particle mass spectrometry of tropospheric aerosol particles

TL;DR: The Particle Analysis by Laser Mass Spectrometry (PALMS) instrument has measured the composition of single particles during a number of airborne and ground-based campaigns as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions of Water with Mineral Dust Aerosol: Water Adsorption, Hygroscopicity, Cloud Condensation, and Ice Nucleation.

TL;DR: Experimental techniques to probe water interactions with dust and theoretical frameworks to understand these interactions are discussed and laboratory studies and theoretical simulations that provide fundemental insights into these processes on the molecular level are related.
