abstract = {The objective of the doctoral thesis presented here is to
contribute to an improved understanding of the formation of
ice clouds and their micro-physical characteristics.
Homogeneous and heterogeneous freezing experiments were
carried out with different aerosol types at temperatures
between 238 and 185 K and cooling rates between −0.3 and
−3.0Kmin$^{−1}$ in the aerosol chamber AIDA (Aerosol
Interactions and Dynamics in the Atmosphere). Dynamic cloud
processes were simulated in the AIDA by controlled
decreasing of pressure and temperature. Homogeneous ice
nucleation was examined by means o f freezing processes of
fully dissolved sulphuric acid (SA) and ammonium sulphate
(AS) droplets. Heterogeneous ice nucleation was triggered by
pure soot particles (SOOT), soot particles coated with
sulphuric acid or ammonium sulphate (SOOT+SA, SOOT+AS) and
two mineral dust types (Arizona Test Dust, ATD and Sahara
dust, SD). The sulphuric acid droplets nucleated ice at
relative humidities with respect to ice (RH$_{ice,nuc}$) of
139 - 166\% (236 - 196 K). This is in accordance with both
previous results of AIDA experiments (Möhler et al., 2003)
and literature data (Koop et al., 2000). The AS-aerosols
generated ice crystals at relative humidities with respect
to ice that were significantly below the homogeneous
freezing threshold (115 - 136\%). This may be explained by
the presence of (micro-) crystalline ammonium sulphate and
therefore heterogeneous effects. The number of ice crystals
formed in the homogeneous freezing experiments increased
with decreasing temperature or increasing cooling rate,
independently of the starting concentration of aerosol
particles. This result is in accordance with the
parameterisation of Kärcher and Lohmann (2002a) and
confirms that an additional insertion of homogeneously
freezing aerosols has no important impact on the
microphysics of ice clouds. For heterogeneous freezing
processes with pure soot and mineral dust particles (238 -
190 K), RH$_{ice,nuc}$ is clearly below the homogeneous
freezing threshold. Mineral dust freezes at lower values of
RHice (100 - 120\%) than pure soot (111 - 134\%). A
sulphuric acid or ammonium sulphate coating of the soot
particles raises the respective values close to the
homogeneous freezing threshold (120 - 160\% at 230 - 185K).
For heterogeneous freezing experiments, no clear increase in
the number of ice crystals can be observed with decreasing
temperature. With increasing cooling rate, the number of ice
crystals only increases for SOOT- and SD-particles. For
ATD-particles, there is limited evidence that the starting
concentration of the aerosol has an influence on the number
of ice crystals formed. Therefore, heterogeneously freezing
aerosol particles (especially mineral dust particles) may
influence the microphysics of ice clouds and thus have the
potential to influence the climate. This confirms results of
modelling studies (Kärcher and Lohmann, 2003), which
consider freezing processes of externally mixed homogeneous
and heterogeneous aerosols. RH$_{ice,nuc}$ and the share of
ice-forming particles of an aerosol are parameters for its
potential impact on the climate. In conclusion, the aerosol
types examined here can, according to these two parameters,
be put in the following order of increasing freezing
efficiency: SA (RH$_{ice}$ $\thickapprox$ 155\%; Nice
$\thickapprox$1.4\%), SOOT+SA and SOOT+AS (both 145\%;
1.7\%), AS (130\%; 10\%), SOOT (120\%; 16\%), SD (110\%;
37\%) and ATD (110\%; 70\%). This means that the freezing
efficiency increases across the scale of fully dissolved,
homogeneously freezing aerosols to coated to pure,
heterogeneously freezing aerosol particles.},
