Regionally sourced bioaerosols drive high-temperature ice nucleating particles in the Arctic
Abstract Primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) play an important role in the climate system, facilitating the formation of ice within clouds, consequently PBAP may be important in understanding the rapidly changing Arctic. Within this work, we use single-particle fluorescence spectroscopy to i...
