PPT Slide
- particles are isolated and free-floating
- time to measure
- spectroscopic properties
- polarisation properties
- chemical properties
- Size discrimination effects are suppressed
- time to monitor
- ice particle formation from vapour phase
- ice particle agglomeration
- ice layer formation on aerosols and particles
- Envisaged that…
- able to study the chemical reactivity between icy particles and aerosols / pollutants
- able to distinguish the chemical and physical properties of ice particles that depend on the size or growth rate of the particle
A clearer understanding of the physical and chemical properties of icy particles can be obtained from studies in microgravity
