Relative roles of biogenic emissions and Saharan dust as ice nuclei in the Amazon basin
2009
Some aerosol particles—known as ice nuclei—initiate ice formation in clouds, thereby influencing precipitation, cloud dynamics and incoming and outgoing solar radiation. Measurements of the concentration and elemental composition of ice nuclei in the Amazon basin indicate that local bioparticles and Saharan dust could explain the presence of almost all ice nuclei during the wet season.
