The influence of surface charge on the coalescence of ice and dust particles in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere

<p>Agglomeration of charged ice and dust particles in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere is studied using a classical electrostatic approach, which is extended to capture the induced polarisation of surface charge. Collision outcomes are predicted whilst varying the particle size, charge, d...
