Abstract: On a silver iodide surface, the number of ice nucleating sites capable of nucleating ice by the freezing mechanism is found to be about one hundred times the number which nucleate ice by sorption at water saturation. This ...

Abstract: The ability of silver-iodide particles to act as ice nuclei has been studied under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. Particles up to 100Å in radius are largely ineffective as ice nuclei unless the humidity, ...

Abstract: An attempt has been made to estimate the contribution of diffusiophoresis to the collision rate between silver iodide nuclei and cloud droplets growing under conditions simulating those in a natural cumulus cloud. ...

Abstract: Experimental evidence is presented to show that the process of activation in ice nucleation is due to a surface phase change which takes place within the layer of water adsorbed on the nucleating substrate. The outstanding ...
