Ice nucleation under cirrus cloud conditions
Cirrus are thin upper tropospheric clouds that are composed entirely of ice particles. Due to their extensive coverage of the Earth’s surface, they have a significant impact on the Earth’s radiative balance. In the absence of a foreign surface, cirrus ice particles can form via homogeneous ice nucle...
