The formation of ice particles in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects the properties of
clouds and their impact on climate. Despite the importance of ice formation in determining …

Clouds composed of both ice particles and supercooled liquid water droplets exist at
temperatures above~ 236 K. These mixed phase clouds, which strongly impact climate, are …

Atmospheric dust rich in illite is transported globally from arid regions and impacts cloud
properties through the nucleation of ice. We present measurements of ice nucleation in …

We have studied the nucleation of crystals of a model protein from aqueous solutions using
a novel technique that allows direct determinations of homogeneous nucleation rates. At a …

Publications of recent years dealing with laboratory experiments of immersion freezing
reveal uncertainties about the fundamentals of heterogeneous freezing nucleation. While it …

We present a local order parameter based on the standard Steinhardt–Ten Wolde approach
that is capable both of tracking and of driving homogeneous ice nucleation in simulations of …

The freezing of water on surfaces is an important phase change process with an outsized
influence in both natural and engineered systems. Liquid water below the melting …

Abstract Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) isotope ratios can be used to fingerprint sources and
dispersion pathways of pollutants in the environment. Little is known, however, about the …

Our understanding of the interactions of aerosols and clouds has a strong heritage in
laboratory experiments, field measurements, and process modeling. We present a review on …

Arsenic (As) occurs in atmospheric deposition both in soluble and insoluble forms, mainly
bound to fine aerosol particles (less than 2.5 μm). Interception deposition (ie fog, dew and …
