Modelling the effect of condensed-phase diffusion on the homogeneous nucleation of ice in ultra-viscous particles

<p>Computational models of cloud formation typically use homogeneous nucleation to predict the ice nucleated in supercooled water. However, the existence of ultra-viscous organic aerosol in the upper troposphere has offered alternative ice nucleation pathways, which have been observed in labor...
