Enhanced ice nucleation activity of coal fly ash aerosol particles initiated by ice-filled pores

<p>Ice-nucleating particles (INPs), which are precursors for ice formation in clouds, can alter the microphysical and optical properties of clouds, thereby impacting the cloud lifetimes and hydrological cycles. However, the mechanisms with which these INPs nucleate ice when exposed to differen...
