MARC recordIce-forming nuclei at Palmer station, Antarctica / V.K. Saxena, D.C. Weintraub.
| Title: | Ice-forming nuclei at Palmer station, Antarctica / V.K. Saxena, D.C. Weintraub. |
| Author(s): | Saxena, V. K. Weintraub, D. C. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| In: | Antarctic Journal of the United States. (1987.), Vol. 22(5) (1987) |
| Abstract: | Objects of experiment were to investigate log-normal distribution of freezing drops and identify aerosol particulates responsible for ice nucleation, and to find any correlation between elemental composition of ice-forming nuclei and threshold freezing temperature. Results show that range of threshold temperature is -5 to -14°C, with ice-forming nuclei concentrations ranging from 8.5 to 100,000 per cubic meter. |
| Notes: | Antarctic Journal of the United States. Vol. 22(5) :266-267 (1987). |
| Keywords: | 551.574.1 -- Condensation, nuclei. 91(08) -- Expeditions: 1955- US Antarctic Program. E9 -- Glaciology: meteorology and climatology. |
