Ice nucleation properties of fine ash particles from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in April 2010

During the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in the south of Iceland in April/May 2010, about 40 Tg of ash mass were emitted into the atmosphere. It was unclear whether volcanic ash particles with <i>d</i> < 10 μm facilitate the glaciation of clouds. Thus, i...
