The contribution of fungal spores and bacteria to regional and global aerosol number and ice nucleation immersion freezing rates

Primary biological aerosol particles (PBAPs) may play an important role in aerosol–climate interactions, in particular by affecting ice formation in mixed phase clouds. However, the role of PBAPs is poorly understood because the sources and distribution of PBAPs in the atmosphere are not well quanti...
