Ice nucleation in sulfuric acid/organic aerosols: implications for cirrus cloud formation

Using an aerosol flow tube apparatus, we have studied the effects of aliphatic aldehydes (C<sub>3</sub> to C<sub>10</sub>) and ketones (C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>9</sub>) on ice nucleation in sulfuric acid aerosols. Mixed aerosols were prepared by combin...
