Marine species undergo biogeochemical cycles which yield highly dynamic composition at the ocean interface and air environment. With uncertainty in ocean and atmosphere composition, experimental…

Disentangling the impacts of particle mixing state on ice nucleation

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Susannah Burrows

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Atmospheric ice nucleating particles (INPs) are rare particles required to initiate freezing in clouds at temperatures warmer than ca. -38°C, and therefore can have significant impacts on weather and…
