Assessment of some parameterizations of heterogeneous ice nucleation in cloud and climate models

Several different types of parameterization of heterogeneous ice nucleation for cloud and climate models have been developed over the past decades, ranging from empirically-derived expressions to parameterizations of ice crystal nucleation rates derived from theory, including the parameterization de...
