Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

Mineral dust particles suspended in the atmosphere span more than three orders of
magnitude in diameter, from< 0.1 µm to more than 100 µm. This wide size range makes dust …

This paper synthesizes the available scientific information connecting atmospheric
nucleation with subsequent cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation. We review both …

Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, interacting with radiation,
clouds, and biogeochemical systems and impacting atmospheric circulation, air quality …

Immersion freezing is the most relevant heterogeneous ice nucleation mechanism through
which ice crystals are formed in mixed-phase clouds. In recent years, an increasing number …

Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, affecting the radiation
balance, cloud properties, biogeochemical cycles, regional circulation and precipitation, as …

We investigate the potential of polarization lidar to provide vertical profiles of aerosol
parameters from which cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) and ice nucleating particle (INP) …

Aerosol-cloud interaction studies to date consider aerosol with a substantial fraction of
soluble material as the sole source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Emerging evidence …

Aerosols that are efficient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are crucial for the formation of cloud
ice via heterogeneous nucleation in the atmosphere. The distribution of INPs on a large …

The purpose of this tutorial is to teach the method of digital in-line holography (DIH) as a
means to characterize aerosol particles in an in-situ manner. The scope is limited to the …
