Impact of formulations of the homogeneous nucleation rate on ice nucleation events in cirrus
<p>Homogeneous freezing of solution droplets is an important pathway of ice formation in the tropopause region. The nucleation rate can be parameterized as a function of water activity, based on empirical fits and some assumptions on the underlying properties of super-cooled water, although a...
