Ice Nucleation Link to Aerosols for Global Models
Jul 16, 2010 [ Research Highlights ]
The formation of ice in clouds is of vital importance to life on Earth, as ice formation is one of the key processes for precipitation initiation. Since ice nucleation is tied to the action of specific aerosol particles (ice nuclei: IN) representing only 1 in 10^5 or less ambient particles, natural and human impacts [...]

CCN Activity and Mixing Rules of Isoprene Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA) and Sulfate
Jun 11, 2010 [ Research Highlights ]
The growth of atmospheric particles to form cloud droplets influences climate through indirect effects on cloud brightness and lifetime and changes in patterns of precipitation. Predictions of which atmospheric particles act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), which are the initial particles on which water condenses to grow into droplets, are complicated by their diverse composition. [...]
