Freezing nucleation apparatus puts new slant on study of biological ice nucleators in precipitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2023
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

open access: yesAgricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1990
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]

open access: yes, 2009
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]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1988
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]

open access: yesScience, 2008
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.
