Atmospheric ice nucleators active &ge; &minus;12 &deg;C can be quantified on PM<sub>10</sub> filters

Small number concentrations render it difficult to quantify ice nucleators (IN) in the atmosphere active at warm temperatures. A useful new method for IN measurement based around filter collections is proposed. It makes use of quartz filters used in 24 h PM<sub>10</sub> monitoring (720 m...
