ICE - Laboratory experiment goals
• Basic scientific understanding• Check performance of airborne instruments• Develop new measurement techniques & combining
methods (CVI -> CFDC)
STRENGTHS:
Environment control
Repeatability
Mechanistic studies
Test specific aerosol types (dust, bacteria, ..)
Crystal growth habits & rates
Effects of organic coatings, electric charge, ..
Laboratory Experiments A. Cloud types

Measurement challenges
Ice nucleation modes:
• deposition ………………………….X
• condensation-freezing…………..X
• contact-freezing…………………X
• evaporation-freezing ……………?
• electro-freezing…………………?
