Instead of nucleating into a new particle, H2SO4 could also condense on an existing aerosol particle, making it grow in size. (realclimate.org)
If sulfate aerosols nucleate cloud drops, resulting in a greater number of smaller droplets rather than a few large ones, this will further increase scattering and cooling. (realclimate.org)
According to Christner, agricultural losses from ice nucleating bacteria, such as Pseudomonas syringae, often exceed $ 1 billion dollars per year in the United States, so understanding their mode of dispersal is essential for mitigating their impact on crops. (sciencedaily.com)
