Ice Nucleating Particle Concentrations Increase When Leaves Fall in Autumn
Ice nucleating particles active at −8 ◦C or warmer (INP−8) are produced by plants and by microorganisms living from and on them. Laboratory studies have shown that large numbers of INP−8 are produced by decaying leaves. At three widely dispersed locations in Northwestern Eurasia, we saw, from an analysis of PM10 filter samples, that seasonal median concentrations of INP−8 in the boundary layer ...
متن کاملImproved estimates for the fall speed of sub-100μm ice crystals
New theoretical results are presented for the sedimentation rate of realistic ice crystals at sizes smaller than 100 μm. The calculations, which exploit a mathematical analogy with electrostatics, are compared with laboratory studies and found to be in good agreement. These results highlight a weakness in contemporary ice particle fall speed parameterisations for very small crystals, which can ...
متن کاملAdvances in the Estimation of Ice Particle Fall Speeds Using Laboratory and Field Measurements
Accurate estimates for the fall speed of natural hydrometeors are vital if their evolution in clouds is to be understood quantitatively. In this study, laboratory measurements of the terminal velocity yt for a variety of ice particle models settling in viscous fluids, along with wind-tunnel and field measurements of ice particles settling in air, have been analyzed and compared to common method...
متن کاملFloating Ice-Algal Aggregates below Melting Arctic Sea Ice
During two consecutive cruises to the Eastern Central Arctic in late summer 2012, we observed floating algal aggregates in the melt-water layer below and between melting ice floes of first-year pack ice. The macroscopic (1-15 cm in diameter) aggregates had a mucous consistency and were dominated by typical ice-associated pennate diatoms embedded within the mucous matrix. Aggregates maintained b...
متن کاملCollisions between equal sized ice grain agglomerates
Context. Following the recent insight in the material structure of comets, protoplanetesimals are assumed to have low densities and to be highly porous agglomerates. It is still unclear if planetesimals can be formed from these objects by collisional growth. Aims. Therefore, it is important to study numerically the collisional outcome from low velocity impacts of equal sized porous agglomerates...
