Supersaturation, dehydration, and denitrification in Arctic cirrus
A polar cirrus case study is discussed with the help of a one-dimensional model with explicit aerosol and ice microphysics. It is demonstrated that continuous cooling of air in regions with small amounts of ice and slow ice deposition rates of water vapor drives significant in-cloud supersaturations over ice, with potentially important consequences for heterogeneous halogen activation. Radiativ...
متن کاملImpact of H2SO4/H2O coating and ice crystal size on radiative properties of sub-visible cirrus
Recent laboratory experiments showed that at conditions resembling those near the tropopause region, small ice particles can be coated by a liquid H2SO4/H2O over-layer formed after the freezing of diluted sulfuric acid/water aerosol drops. Here, idealized radiative transfer tests are conducted to evaluate the impact that such an over-layer would have on the radiative effects produced by sub-vis...
متن کاملObserving cirrus halos to constrain in-situ measurements of ice crystal size
In this study, characteristic optical sizes of ice crystals in synoptic cirrus are determined using airborne measurements of ice crystal size distributions, optical extinction and water content. The measurements are compared with coincident visual observations of ice cloud optical phenomena, in particular the 22◦ and 46◦ halos. In general, the 5 scattering profiles derived from the in-situ clou...
متن کاملCrystal size and shape distributions plagioclase and determining of crystal residence time in the Chah-Musa intrusion (South Shahrood)
Considering the importance of plagioclase in reconstructing magma cooling processes, the size and shape distribution of this mineral is investigated for Chah - Musa sub-volcanic intrusion (NW Toroud- Semnan Province). The slopes of CSD diagrams, the natural logarithm of the density of the crystalline density (n) against the length of the crystal (L), show plagioclase phenocrysts available in th...
متن کاملCrystal Nucleation without Supersaturation.
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) has been extensively employed to interpret crystal nucleation phenomena and postulates the formation of an ordered crystalline nucleus directly from vapor or solution. Here, we provide the first experimental demonstration of a two-step mechanism that facilitates deposition of crystals on solid surfaces from vapor. Crucially, this occurs from saturated vapor wit...
