This study investigates the pre-activation of ice nucleating particles (INPs) in deposition mode and finds that pre-activated INPs can enhance ice generation in mixed-phase clouds. The activation efficiency of INPs is increased after pre-activation, even at relatively warm temperatures such as -10 degrees C. This research provides important evidence for understanding and predicting cloud and precipitation processes.
Pre-activation of ice nucleating particles (INPs) is a potential mechanism to enhance ice generation in mixed-phase clouds, but evidence of INP pre-activation is still limited. In this study, the pre-activation of INPs in deposition mode is investigated using refreezing experiments in a static vacuum water vapor diffusion chamber with aerosols sampled in Xinjiang, China. The results indicate that the activation efficiency of INP was enhanced after pre-activation. Statistically, the INP concentration increased by 266%, 112%, and 70% at -10 degrees C, -14 degrees C, and -17 degrees C after pre-activation, and more than half of the samples showed an increase in INP concentration. The increase in INP concentration has a positive correlation with the primary INP concentration before pre-activation. The analyses provide new evidence that the pre-activated INPs can act as better nuclei at temperature as warm as -10 degrees C, and highlight the importance to find a way to consider this mechanism in models.
