Abstract (englisch):

The abundance of aerosol particles and their abil-ity to catalyze ice nucleation are key parameters to correctlyunderstand and describe the aerosol indirect effect on the cli-mate. Cirrus clouds strongly influence the Earth’s radiativebudget, but their effect is highly sensitive to their formationmechanism, which is still poorly understood. Sulfate and or-ganics are among the most abundant aerosol components inthe troposphere and have also been found in cirrus ice crys-tal residuals. Most of the studies on ice nucleation at cirruscloud conditions looked at either purely inorganic or purelyorganic particles. However, particles in the atmosphere aremostly found as internal mixtures, the ice nucleation abilityof which is not yet fully characterized.In this study, we investigated the ice nucleation ability ofinternally mixed particles composed of crystalline ammo-nium sulfate (AS) and secondary organic material (SOM)at temperatures between−50 and−65◦C. The SOM wasgenerated from the ozonolysis ofα-pinene. The experimentswere conducted in a large cloud chamber, which also al-lowed us to simulate various aging processes that the par-ticles may experience during their transport in the atmo-sphere, like cloud cycling and redistribution of the organicmatter. ... mehr
