Biological particles in the Earth's atmosphere are a distinctive category of ice nucleating
particles (INPs) due to their capability of facilitating ice crystal formation in clouds at …

Surfactants are surface-active molecules or ions that can often be found at the surface of
atmospheric aerosol particles. Some surfactants, such as biomolecules in marine aerosol …

Lightning activity constitute the major destructive component of thunderstorms over India.
Hence, an understanding of the long-term variability in lightning occurrence and intensity …

Mineral dust particles are thought to be an important type of ice-nucleating particle (INP) in
the mixed-phase cloud regime around the globe. While K-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) has …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are atmospheric aerosol particles that can strongly influence
the radiative properties and precipitation onset in mixed-phase clouds by triggering ice …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate ice formation in supercooled clouds, typically starting
in western Europe at a few kilometres above the ground. However, little is known about the …

Airborne bacteria are widespread as a major proportion of bioaerosols, and their
coexistence with dust particles enables both bacteria and dust particles to be more active in …

Mineral dust produced by wind erosion of arid and semiarid surfaces is a major component
of atmospheric aerosol that affects climate, weather, ecosystems, and socioeconomic …

The differential nucleus concentration defined in Vali (1971) is re-examined and methods
are given for its application. The purpose of this document is to facilitate the use of …

African mineral dust is transported many thousands of kilometres from its source regions,
and, because of its ability to nucleate ice, it plays a major role in cloud glaciation around the …
