Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation by Soufriere Hills Volcanic Ash Immersed in Water Droplets
Fine particles of ash emitted during volcanic eruptions may sporadically influence cloud properties on a regional or global scale as well as influencing the dynamics of volcanic clouds and the subsequent dispersion of volcanic aerosol and gases. It has been shown that volcanic ash can trigger ice nucleation, but ash from relatively few volcanoes has been studied for its ice nucleating ability. ...
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 کاملBINARY: an optical freezing array for assessing temperature and time dependence of heterogeneous ice nucleation
A new optical freezing array for the study of heterogeneous ice nucleation in microliter-sized droplets is introduced, tested and applied to the study of immersion freezing in aqueous Snomax suspensions. In the Bielefeld Ice Nucleation ARraY (BINARY) ice nucleation can be studied simultaneously in 36 droplets at temperatures down to −40 C (233 K) and at cooling rates between 0.1 and 10 K min. T...
متن کاملLaboratory evidence for volume - dominated nucleation of ice in supercooled water microdroplets
We report on measurements of the rate of homogeneous ice nucleation in supercooled water microdroplets levitated in an electrodynamic balance. By comparison of the freezing probability for droplets of radius 49 µm and 19 µm, we are able to conclude that homogeneous freezing is a volume-proportional process and that surface nucleation might only be important, if at all, for much smaller droplets.
متن کاملSurface crystallization of supercooled water in clouds.
The process by which liquid cloud droplets homogeneously crystallize into ice is still not well understood. The ice nucleation process based on the standard and classical theory of homogeneous freezing initiates within the interior volume of a cloud droplet. Current experimental data on homogeneous freezing rates of ice in droplets of supercooled water, both in air and emulsion oil samples, sho...
