Export of ice-nucleating particles from watersheds: results from the Amazon and Tocantins river plumes

We examined ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in the plumes of the Tocantins and Amazon rivers, which drain watersheds with different proportions of degraded land. The concentration of INPs active at −15°C (INP−15) was an order of magnitude lower in the Tocantins (mean = 13.2 ml−1; s.d. = 7.8 ml−1), d...
