TRANSCRIPT

  • Ice nucleation characteristics of Asian and Saharan desert dustField P.R., Moehler O., Connolly P., Kraemer M., Cotton R., Heymsfield A.J., Schnaiter M.

  • Saharan dust sampledesert close to Cairo, Egypt (SD2)Asian dust sampleTakla Makan desert, China (AD1)Temperature range: -20 to -50C

  • 1.01.21.41.6Critical ice saturation ratio-60-40-20Critical Temperature [oC]

  • -60-40-20Critical Temperature [oC]1.00.10.01Ice nucleation efficiency

  • ConclusionsNo deposition nucleation for T>-35CT>-30C: Efficiency ~1%T10%Repeated nucleation decreases critical ice saturation req'd for deposition nucleation
