Technical note: Fundamental aspects of ice nucleation via pore condensation and freezing including Laplace pressure and growth into macroscopic ice [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 Pore condensation and freezing (PCF) is an ice nucleation mechanism that explains ice formation at low ice supersaturation. It assumes that liquid water condenses in pores of solid aerosol particles below water saturation, as described by the Kelvin ...

On the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of immersion ice nucleation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Heterogeneous ice nucleation initiated by particles immersed within droplets is likely the main pathway of ice formation in the atmosphere. Theoretical models commonly used to describe this process assume that it mimics ice formation from the vapor ...

Impact of formulations of the homogeneous nucleation rate on ice nucleation events in cirrus [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Homogeneous freezing of solution droplets is an important pathway of ice formation in the tropopause region. The nucleation rate can be parameterized as a function of water activity, based on empirical fits and some assumptions on the underlying ...
