Abstract: A comprehensive sensitivity study was carried out examining the sensitivity of hygroscopic growth and activation as modeled with the Köhler equation. Different parameters in the Köhler equation were varied within the range ...

Abstract: his study presents an analysis showing that the freezing probability of kaolinite particles from Fluka scales exponentially with particle surface area for different atmospherically relevant particle sizes. Immersion freezing ...

Abstract: ce particle formation in tropospheric clouds significantly changes cloud radiative and microphysical properties. Ice nucleation in the troposphere via homogeneous freezing occurs at temperatures lower than -38 °C and ...

Abstract: t has been known that aerosol particles act as nuclei for ice formation for over a century and a half (see Dufour). Initial attempts to understand the nature of these ice nucleating particles were optical and electron ...
