  Information - AS3.11 The Tropospheric Ice Phase

Event Information
This session welcomes submissions on the formation, processing and atmospheric interaction of ice particles in the troposphere, based on field observations, laboratory investigations, aerosol chamber studies and modelling.

A wide range of aspects of the tropospheric ice phase are intended to be covered in this session, including: homogeneous and heterogeneous ice nucleation, secondary ice formation, processing of ice crystals in mixed phase and cirrus clouds, heterogeneous chemistry and uptake of trace gases on ice, morphology of ice crystals, inclusion of trace substances in the ice matrix, microphysical properties of mixed-phase and ice clouds, transport processes in mixed phase and ice clouds, radiative properties of mixed phase and ice clouds, influence of ice characteristics on precipitation processes, and the representation and role of the ice phase in weather and climate models.

We particularly encourage submissions highlighting results from major national and international projects focused on the ice-related processes, such as the German Collaborative Research Center "The Tropospheric Ice Phase", the "PAZI-2" (Particles and Cirrus) project, as well as field experiments such as "CRYSTAL FACE", "CLACE", "CIRRUS", "TWP-ICE" and others.
