Title: Sensitivity of ice nucleation parameterizations to the variability in underlying ice nucleation rate coefficients

Journal Article · · Environmental Science: Atmospheres
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D2EA00019A · OSTI ID:1879576

We use simulated droplet freezing experiments to probe the impact of variability in ice nucleation propensities (represented as differently-shaped distributions), and observe differences at low frozen fractions and for broad distributions.
