Atmospheric Ice Nucleation Conference – Focus Meeting 9

Poster

Experimental campaigns concerning measurements of Ice Nucleating Particle concentrations were carried out in the framework of BACCHUS project (FP7-603445) between 2014 and 2016 at different sampling sites: San Pietro Capofiume (SPC), a rural background site; Mace Head (MH), a North Atlantic site, and Monte Cimone (MC), a Global Atmospheric Watch station (GAW). The lower average concentration in the PM10 fraction was measured at MH (10 m-3, August 2015) and the highest at SPC (310 m-3, Feb. 2014). In addition, the importanceÂ of measuring the freezing activity of particles larger than one micrometre has been addressed.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
