Freezing nucleation apparatus puts new slant on study of biological ice nucleators in precipitation [PDF]
For decades, drop-freezing instruments have contributed to a better understanding of biological ice nucleation and its likely implications for cloud and precipitation development. Yet, current instruments have limitations.

Micro-thermography for imaging ice crystal growth and nucleation inside non-transparent materials [PDF]
Ice crystal growth and nucleation rate measurements are usually done using visible light micros-copy in liquid and transparent samples. Yet, the understanding of important practical problems depends on monitoring ice growth inside solid materials.

Identification of a New Ice-nucleating Bacterium and Its Ice Nucleation Properties
A new ice-nucleating bacterium, KUEN-3, was isolated from strawberry leaves. The ice-nucleating bacterium was found in the pale yellow colony group. Strain KUEN-3 was identified as Erwinia uredovora from its taxonomical characteristics. When strain KUIN-3 was cultured aerobically in a medium consisting of Simmons-citric acid broth (pH 6.1) for 24hr at ...

Chemical composition of ambient aerosol, ice residues and cloud droplet residues in mixed-phase clouds: single particle analysis during the Cloud and Aerosol Characterization Experiment (CLACE 6) [PDF]
Two different single particle mass spectrometers were operated in parallel at the Swiss High Alpine Research Station Jungfraujoch (JFJ, 3580 m a.s.l.) during the Cloud and Aerosol Characterization Experiment (CLACE 6) in February and March 2007.

Ice Nucleation Activity in Lichens [PDF]
A newly discovered form of biological ice nucleus associated with lichens is described. Ice nucleation spectra of a variety of lichens from the southwestern United States were measured by the drop-freezing method. Several epilithic lichen samples of the genera Rhizoplaca, Xanthoparmelia , and Xanthoria

Ubiquity of Biological Ice Nucleators in Snowfall [PDF]
Despite the integral role of ice nucleators (IN) in atmospheric processes leading to precipitation, their sources and distributions have not been well established. We examined IN in snowfall from mid- and high-latitude locations and found that the most active were biological in origin.
