The objective of the ICE-L experiment is to show that under given conditions, direct ice nucleation measurement(s), or other specific measurable characteristics of the aerosol, can be used to predict the number of ice particles forming by nucleation mechanisms in selected clouds. The PIs also seek improved quantitative understanding of the roles of thermodynamic pathway, location within the cloud, and temporal dependency. The project, which is lead by Andy Heymsfield (NCAR), will be based at the Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport in Broomfield Colorado. The NSF/NCAR C-130 and the Wyoming Cloud Radar will support the project during November and December 2007.
