1. 1. Seasonal Variability of Ice Nucleating Particles (INP) in Southern Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Tamina Kabir; [2023-03-08]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cloud ice crystals are formed by ice-nucleating particles (INPs). The micro-physical properties of clouds, precipitation formation and the life cycle of clouds are strongly influenced by the presence or absence of ice. Therefore knowledge of atmospheric INP concentrations is crucial to improve weather forecasting and climate projections. READ MORE
