Quantifying the Source of Atmospheric Ice Nuclei from Biomass Burning Aerosols
CSU Project #: 5-31270Sponsor: NOAA
Primary Investigator: Paul DeMott
Start Date: May 1st, 2010
End Date: April 30th, 2013
Objectives:
- Perform sampling of IN from controlled burns of Western and Southeastern U.S. forest and grassland fuels.
- Explore the impact of atmospheric processing on biomass smokes.
- Explore relations between IN number concentrations and other aerosol properties.
- Parameterize ice nucleation results for use in numerical modeling studies.
