Their freezing can either be triggered by aerosol particles acting as a so - called ice nuclei (IN), or occur homogeneously (without IN) at about − 38 ◦ C The goal of many laboratory studies was and is to assess

... numerous studies have attempted to quantify
the ice nucleation ability of different particles empirically in laboratory experiments.
