Maria Sazonova ‘ 26 Figure 1: Ocean sea spray containing SSA particles at sunset Evaluating ice nucleation kinetics in cloud formation is essential for enhancing our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions, as well as speculating on the larger effects of SSAs, sea spray aerosol particles, on climate change. SSA ambient particles are a constant natural source of atmospheric aerosol and a recognized source of ice-nucleating particles … Continue reading Sea spray contributes to ice formation in clouds.
