Inhibition of efflorescence in mixed organic–inorganic particles at temperatures less than 250 K
Abstract
It is now well recognized that mixed organic–inorganic particles are abundant in the atmosphere. While there have been numerous studies of efflorescence of mixed organic–inorganic particles close to 293 K, there are only a few at temperatures less than 273 K. Understanding the efflorescence properties of these particles at temperatures less than 273 K could be especially important for predicting ice nucleation in the upper troposphere. We studied the efflorescence properties of mixed
