Immersion mode heterogeneous ice nucleation by an illite rich powder representative of atmospheric mineral dust
Atmospheric dust rich in illite is transported globally from arid regions and impacts cloud properties through the nucleation of ice. We present measurements of ice nucleation in water droplets containing known quantities of an illite rich powder under atmospherically relevant conditions. The illite...
