abstract = {The low-temperature aerosol and cloud chamber AIDA (Aerosol
Interactions and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) of
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe was used to investigate the
effect of sulfuric acid coating on the ice nucleation
efficiency of soot aerosol particles from a spark discharge
generator. The uncoated (sulfuric acid-coated) soot aerosol
showed a nearly lognormal size distribution with number
concentrations of 300-5000 cm(-3) (2500-56,000 cm-3), count
median diameters of 70-140 nm (90-200 nm), and geometric
standard deviation of 1.3-1.4 (1.5-1.6). The volume fraction
of the sulfuric acid coating to the total aerosol volume
concentration ranged from 21 to $81\%.$ Ice activation was
investigated in dynamic expansion experiments simulating
cloud cooling rates between about -0.6 and -3.5 K min(-1).
At temperatures between 186 and similar to 235 K, uncoated
soot particles acted as deposition nuclei at very low ice
saturation ratios between 1.1 and 1.3. Above 235 K, ice
nucleation only occurred after approaching liquid
saturation. Coating with sulfuric acid significantly
increased the ice nucleation thresholds of soot aerosol to
saturation ratios increasing from similar to 1.3 at 230 K to
similar to 1.5 at 185 K. This immersion mode of freezing
nucleates ice well below the thresholds for homogeneous
freezing of pure sulfuric acid solution droplets measured in
previous AIDA experiments. A case study indicated that in
contrast to the homogeneous freezing the nucleation rate of
the immersion freezing mechanism depends only weakly on
relative humidity and thereby the solute concentration.
These results show that it is important to know the mixing
state of soot and sulfuric acid aerosol particles in order
to properly assess their role in cirrus formation.},
