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.

Water droplet calibration of the Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP) and in-flight performance in liquid, ice and mixed-phase clouds during ARCPAC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Monte-Carlo simulations to estimate the effect of coincidence on the measured droplet size distributions and found that 60% oversizing error and 50% undercounting error can occur at droplet concentrations exceeding 400 cm−3, and these errors are necessary to explain the trend between calculated and measured LWC observed in liquid and mixed-phase clouds during the Aerosol, Radiation and Cloud Processes Affecting Arctic Climate (ARCPAC) study.

Production of secondary ice particles during the riming process

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of ice particles in natural clouds and their ability to predict them from measurements made, for example in laboratory cloud chambers, at the same temperature were investigated, and the results showed that ice crystals play a vital part in the formation of precipitation.

A parameterization of the particle size spectrum of ice clouds in terms of the ambient temperature and the ice water content

TL;DR: In this paper, a data set obtained in cirrus clouds has been examined to deduce any dependencies of the particle size spectral form or the crystal habit on the temperature, and it was found that both form of the spectra and crystal habit changed systematically with temperature, the largest change occurring between −l40 and −50°C.

Shattering and Particle Interarrival Times Measured by Optical Array Probes in Ice Clouds

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the interarrival times of particles measured by these probes can be bimodal and that the cloud probes are more affected than the precipitation probes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ice Particle Interarrival Times Measured with a Fast FSSP

TL;DR: In this article, a fast forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP) was used to measure the interarrival times of ice particles in clouds. But, the distribution of inter-rival times is bimodal instead of the exponential distribution expected for a Poisson process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of small ice crystals to cirrus properties: Observations from the Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP‐ICE)

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that during the Costa Rica Aura Validation Experiment N3−50,CAS measured by a CAS without an airflow shroud were an order of magnitude less than those observed during TWP-ICE.
