DOI: 10.1007/s00114-025-01980-6
Abstract: Plant surfaces are a major source of particles able to initiate ice formation in clouds little below 0 °C. Rainfall promotes the release of such ice-nucleating particles (INPs) from vegetation. However, the pattern of their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018gl081861
Abstract: The abundance and sources of ice‐nucleating particles, particles required for heterogeneous ice nucleation, are long‐standing sources of uncertainty in quantifying aerosol‐cloud interactions. In this study, we demonstrate near closure between immersion freezing ice‐nucleating particle number… read more here.
