Size-dependent ice nucleation by airborne particles during dust events in the eastern Mediterranean

<p>The prediction of cloud ice formation in climate models remains a challenge, partly due to the complexity of ice-related processes. Mineral dust is a prominent aerosol in the troposphere and is an important contributor to ice nucleation in mixed-phase clouds, as dust can initiate ice hetero...
