Ice nucleation under cirrus cloud conditions [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Ice Nucleation Properties of Ice-binding Proteins from Snow Fleas [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2019 Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are found in many organisms, such as fish and hexapods, plants, and bacteria that need to cope with low temperatures. Ice nucleation and thermal hysteresis are two attributes of IBPs.

Ice nucleation abilities of soot particles determined with the Horizontal Ice Nucleation Chamber [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Ice nucleation by different types of soot particles is systematically investigated over the temperature range from 218 to 253 K relevant for both mixed-phase (MPCs) and cirrus clouds.

Heterogeneous ice nucleation on atmospheric aerosols: a review of results from laboratory experiments [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 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).

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 ...

Homogeneous ice nucleation rates for mW and TIP4P/ICE models through Lattice Mold calculations [PDF]
, 2022 Water freezing is the most common liquid-to-crystal phase transition on Earth, however, despite its critical implications on climate change and cryopreservation among other disciplines, its characterization through experimental and computational ...

Ice Nucleation on a Corrugated Surface [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2018 Heterogeneous ice nucleation is a key process in many environmental and technical fields and is of particular importance in modeling atmospheric behavior and the Earth's climate. Despite an improved understanding of how water binds at solid surfaces, no clear picture has emerged to describe how 3D ice grows from the first water layer, nor what makes a ...

Heterogeneous ice nucleation on dust particles sourced from nine deserts worldwide – Part 2: Deposition nucleation and condensation freezing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Mineral dust particles from deserts are amongst the most common ice nucleating particles in the atmosphere. The mineralogy of desert dust differs depending on the source region and can further fractionate during the dust emission processes. Mineralogy to
