Effect of bacterial ice nuclei on the frequency and intensity of lightning activity inferred by the BRAMS model
Many studies from the last decades have shown that airborne microorganisms can be intrinsically linked to atmospheric processes. Certain bacteria may constitute the most active ice nuclei found in the atmosphere and might have some influence on the formation of ice crystals in clouds. This study dea...
