Atmospheric Ice Nucleation Conference – Focus Meeting 9

Poster

Results of immersion and contact freezing experiments in the Mainz vertical wind tunnel will be presented. Nucleating properties of mineral dust particles (e.g., illite, feldspar), and biological particles (cellulose) will be provided, mainly focusing on the temperature, INP concentration, and specific surface area dependences of the freezing processes. Direct comparisons between the different nucleation modes (immersion and contact freezing) will also be presented.

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.
