Ice cloud processing of ultra-viscous/glassy aerosol particles leads to enhanced ice nucleation ability

The ice nucleation potential of airborne glassy aqueous aerosol particles has been investigated by controlled expansion cooling cycles in the AIDA aerosol and cloud chamber of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology at temperatures between 247 and 216 K. Four different solutes were used as proxies for...
