The ice-nucleating ability of quartz immersed in water and its atmospheric importance compared to K-feldspar

<p>Mineral dust particles are thought to be an important type of ice-nucleating particle (INP) in the mixed-phase cloud regime around the globe. While K-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) has been identified as being a particularly important component of mineral dust for ice nucleation, it has been sh...
