Numerical simulations of homogeneous freezing processes in the aerosol chamber AIDA
The homogeneous freezing of supercooled H2SO4/H2O aerosols in an aerosol chamber is investigated with a microphysical box model using the activity parameterization of the nucleation rate by Koop et al. (2000). The simulations are constrained by measurements of pressure, temperature, total water mixing ratio, and the initial aerosol size distribution, described in a companion paper (Möhler et al...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of Freezing Behavior of Pure Water and 14% Water-NaCl Mixture Using the Coarse-Grained Model
We performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. For the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. For both systems, the f...
متن کاملVolume nucleation rates for homogeneous freezing in supercooled water microdroplets: results from a combined experimental and modelling approach
Temperature-dependent volume nucleation rate coefficients for supercooled water droplets, JV (T ), are derived from infrared extinction measurements in a cryogenic laminar aerosol flow tube using a microphysical model. The model inverts water and ice aerosol size distributions retrieved from experimental extinction spectra by considering the evolution of a measured initial droplet distribution ...
متن کاملThe susceptibility of ice formation in upper tropospheric clouds to insoluble aerosol components
Ice may form by both homogeneous and heterogeneous freezing nucleation processes in clouds at temperatures below -3 5øC. Most investigations have focused on the former process. This paper presents results from adiabatic parcel model calculations that include the effects of both freezing processes in unactivated solution droplets. Uncertainties in predicting the homogeneous freezing rates are di...
متن کاملA modeling study of ice formation affected by aerosols
[1] This study investigates the effects of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) on ice formation in mixed-phase clouds using an adiabatic parcel model. The simulations with lower updrafts represent mixed-phase stratiform clouds, and those with higher updrafts represent deep convective clouds. Increasing CCN concentration can lead to more ice crystals with smaller sizes, but does ...
