Heterogeneous ice nucleation on atmospheric aerosols: a review of results from laboratory experiments

A small subset of the atmospheric aerosol population has the ability to induce ice formation at conditions under which ice would not form without them (heterogeneous ice nucleation). While no closed theoretical description of this process and the requirements for good ice nuclei is available, numero...
