Immersion freezing of surface dust particles from Tengger Desert in China: effects of mineral composition and aging treatments on ice nucleating activity

Abstract. Mineral dust is a major source of ice nucleating particles (INPs) for mixed-phase clouds and thereby influences cloud properties, precipitation, and radiative forcing. However, the ice nucleation properties of natural dust and their response to atmospheric aging remain...

Temporal Evolution and Vertical Distribution of Size-Resolved Aerosol Composition and Mixing State within the Boundary Layer Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract Characteristics of individual particles and aerosol mixing state strongly influence atmospheric chemistry, radiation, and cloud formation yet remain poorly constrained. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal evolution of size-resolved particle composition in a coastal...
