Environmental & Climate Sciences Department Seminar

"Development and application of expansion-type cloud simulation chambers for atmospheric research"

Presented by Ottmar Moehler, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany

Friday, February 2, 2024, 11:00 am — Large Conference Room, Bldg. 490

Based on more than 20 years of experience with operating the AIDAc (Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere – "classic" version) facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as an expansion-type cloud simulation chamber, we have developed and built the dynamic cloud simulation chamber AIDAd, which has active wall cooling for cloud simulation experiments at well controlled cooling rates up to 10 K/min, and the small Portable Ice Nucleation Experiment (PINE) for automated long-term measurements of atmospheric ice-nucleating particles. This seminar will introduce the basic working principles and operational aspects of the three chambers and will give examples of recent results on the ice-nucleating properties of mineral dust aerosols in the immersion freezing mode.
