Examining the Ice-Nucleating Particles from the Southern Great Plains Field Campaign Report
- Texas A & M Univ., College Station, TX (United States)
The recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility field campaign, named Examining the Ice-Nucleating Particles from Southern Great Plains (ExINP-SGP), targeted experimentally characterizing abundance and other properties of ambient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) at the SGP site in Oklahoma (36° 36' 18" N, 97° 29' 6" W) during the period of October 1 to November 14, 2019. This campaign was funded through the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program (DE-SC0018979) as one of three major campaigns to be conducted at three ARM observatories, including the Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) station in 2020–2021 and North Slope of Alaska (NSA) site in 2021–2023, besides SGP. Different INP episodes were assessed to develop an SGP-relevant ice nucleation parameterization that would help understand convective and mixed-phase cloud systems typically observed in this region.
