Characteristics of Ice Nucleating Particles From the Long-Range Transport of Saharan Dust
Transported mineral dust in a Saharan air layer (SAL) contains active ice-nucleating particles (INPs) that may be transported across the Atlantic Ocean and subsequently seed clouds in the Caribbean and the Americas. During an aircraft campaign around Houston and the western U.S. Gulf Coast, a widespread SAL advected into the sampling region allowing for measurement of the ice-nucleating ability of SD following long-range transport. Results showed that the mean INP concentrations were 3–4.5 times higher than non-Saharan dust (nSD), but only at temperatures <−21°C. Active surface site densities were also enhanced in the SD, exceeding the mean for nSD by over an order of magnitude at temperatures <−21°C. These INP measurements confirmed that SD remains an active INP even after >8,000 km westward transport across the Atlantic Ocean.
期刊介绍:
Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) publishes high-impact, innovative, and timely research on major scientific advances in all the major geoscience disciplines. Papers are communications-length articles and should have broad and immediate implications in their discipline or across the geosciences. GRLmaintains the fastest turn-around of all high-impact publications in the geosciences and works closely with authors to ensure broad visibility of top papers.
