Measuring Physical, Chemical and Optical Properties and Ice Nucleation Activities of Aerosol Particles in the European Arctic

Lead Institution

National Research Council - Institute of Polar Sciences CNR-ISP

Principal Investigator

Stefania Gilardoni

Project type

Exploratory Research

Aerosols in the Arctic have important but poorly constrained impacts on the regional climate. They affect the regional radiation and energy budgets directly by absorbing (warming effect) and…

Towards Aerosol-Ice Formation Closure – Chemical Imaging Investigation of Aerosol and Ice Nucleating Particles

Lead Institution

State University of New York at Stony Brook

Principal Investigator

Daniel Knopf

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Prediction of ice nucleating particle (INP) number concentrations from ambient aerosol particles represents an urgent and challenging issue when simulating cloud processes in climate models. A recent…

Chemistry of Aerosols in the North Slope of Alaska: ISDAC 2008 study.

Lead Institution

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Mary Gilles

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The ISDAC (Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign) field study carried out in the North Slope of Alaska 2008 was a collaborative effort sponsored by the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)…

Molecular identification of non-proteinaceous biological particles towards nucleating ice

Lead Institution

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Principal Investigator

Ottmar Mohler

Project type

Exploratory Research

A small number of atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (INPs) can induce freezing of supercooled droplets in tropospheric clouds and conceivably influence precipitation and the planet’s climate…

Chemical and physical characterization of fertile soil-derived ice residuals from the Fifth International Ice Nucleation workshop in November 2014 (FIN-1)

Lead Institution

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Principal Investigator

Ottmar Mohler

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

A minor fraction of the atmospheric aerosol, so-called ice nucleating particles (INPs), can have a major impact on clouds, precipitation and climate. In particular, fertile soil particles are…

Investigation of morphological and mixing state properties of aerosol and ice crystal residual particles from the Atlantic sector of the Arctic

Lead Institution

West Texas A&M University

Principal Investigator

Seong-gi Moon

Project type

Exploratory Research

Our current knowledge of aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic is inadequate for accurate modeling of northern high-latitude regions. To fill this gap, the field campaign was recently conducted in…

Lead Institution

Washington University in St. Louis

Principal Investigator

Rajan Chakrabarty

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

This project will provide a physico-chemical description of individual atmospheric particles collected during the TRACER campaign, during which we will conduct systematic studies of composition and…
