Article Synopsis
- Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are key aerosols in the atmosphere that trigger ice formation, but predicting their concentrations in climate models is difficult.
- Researchers developed a method to differentiate INP sources from dust, sea spray aerosol (SSA), and bioaerosol, using data from Bodega Bay, California.
- Findings showed that bioaerosols were the main contributor to INPs at certain temperatures, while current models accurately reflected dust and SSA INP levels but struggled with bioaerosols, indicating the need for further study on their emission and efficiency.
